Victorian Kart Championships
It was an up-and-down weekend for the team at the Victorian Kart Championships in Albury-Wodonga, showing strong pace across multiple classes but ultimately facing more than their share of bad luck.
Herman Van Ree – Victorian Combined Masters Herman Van Ree showcased impressive speed throughout the weekend aboard his Croc Promotion MC-01. From the outset on Friday, he consistently ran inside the top three, establishing himself as a genuine contender.
A tough qualifying session saw him finish 8th after missing out on a tow, but he fought back strongly through the heats with a series of solid results to secure a P5 start for the final. Delivering when it mattered most, Herman drove an excellent race in the final to climb onto the podium, finishing 3rd overall for the weekend.
Blake Worboys – KA3 Senior Medium Blake Worboys was firmly in podium contention throughout the weekend in KA3 Senior Medium, demonstrating the pace to run at the front. Unfortunately, a last-lap incident while running in 2nd position brought his charge undone, denying him a well-earned podium and capping off what had otherwise been a very promising performance.
Austin McPherson – KA3 Junior Light
Austin McPherson endured a challenging weekend after being forced off track during qualifying, leaving him to start from 34th position for the opening two heats. Despite the setback, he produced an impressive recovery drive in Heat 1, gaining 17 positions and putting himself in contention for a stronger grid position heading into Heat 3.
Unfortunately, a DNF in Heat 2 hindered his overall progress. Undeterred, Austin delivered a determined performance in the final, charging through the field to secure an excellent 10th-place finish.
