Toyosports Autocross Round 1 at Colo Motorsport Park

The Toyosports Car Club Of NSW have been conducting Autocross “Time Attack” events at Georges Camp for many, many years now and after repeated invites, the Watman kids finally took up the offer to enter and compete in Tahlia’s mighty Holden Astra.

SORRA had prepped the track well, and even though midweek rain did threaten to slow the cars a little on a slippery surface early on, all were well in control
knowing the track was coming to them and with seven laps to set you’re your best time, the smart money was on a quick lap just after lunch.

Lunch is provided by the club as part of entry and was a great time to swap stories and rev up each other a little. None of the 29 starters had any
issues and all were primed for action after being very well fed.

The earlier slippery conditions provided a more level playing field with the four wheel drive rally cars and two wheel drive club cars swapping outright fastest times. Once the track “gripped up” though, turbo all-wheel drive was a hard act to follow but let me tell you, no one gave up and you could clearly see the no brake attitude of the front running shopping cars going all out to beat the race bred rally machines. These guys play for keeps, while at the same time sharing all their experience and driving tips with James and Tahlia.

In the end, there wasn’t a broken car to be found and smiles for miles from both the racers and spectators alike.
It was a great event, a very welcoming club and a fun track.
