Last weekend Hayden tackled another new track for Round 5 in the Victorian Country Series at the Warrnambool Kart Club.
After finishing the practices in 4th and 3rd Hayden was confident that he would be competitive and ended up qualifying 3rd but could’ve been 7th or 8th with how tight the times were.
Heat 1 - P3 ➡️ P3
Heat 2 - P3 ➡️ P1 🥇
Heat 3 - P1 ➡️ P2
Final - P2 ➡️ P2
Finishing the round in 2nd and banking the most points was a fantastic achievement. All Hayden has wanted since round 2 this year in the VCS is to finish the final on the podium, and whilst he has in heat races he was never able to capitalise in the final.
Hayden has progressed this year due to having the best support crew any young driver could have. Thanks to Josef Mercuio for the guidance, Domin8 Racing who gives so much time and advice, Kym for his tips and decades of wisdom, and JGR for bringing it all together .
Thanks to his sponsors Lawrence & Hanson, Comelec, Marks Electrical and Signlab.
