A cool and foggy morning to kick off the Qld Superkart Cup for 2025! The fog pushed the start of qualifying back 30 mins. With fog still licking circuit qualifying got underway at 8:25am. Ewen Burg continued to build on his pace from Friday taking pole Position in his 250 International with a 1:14.0. Tim Weier put his 250 National in second place with a 1:15.1 and Tim Philp took out third overall and the leading 125 National with a blistering 1:16.5 edging red hot favourite Russell Jamieson by 0.5 with Doug Amiss another 0.5 further back. Expect a great fight between these 3 at the front of the 125 National class.
Tony Moit leading the charge for the Rotax class clocking a 1:26.0 edging fellow southerner Stuart Roberston on a 1:27.4 the Queensland boys will have to get a move on if they want to stop those gorgeous trophies going south!
Race 1
A super quick turn around of only about 40 mins between qualifying and race 1 had a few scrambling to get themselves down to the dummy grid. Ewen Burg lead the field into turn 1 but Tim Weier was hot on his tail and snuck past down into turn 6 on the second lap before Ewen used the extra Hp of the 250 Twin to blast past up the main straight. The race was red flagged on lap 3 due to a couple of karts spinning and being in precarious positions. A one lap dash to complete the race saw plenty of action off the start. Tim Weier tried to execute a pass on Ewen Burg through turn 2 with the pair rubbing wheels and both of them losing momentum. Ewen recovered to take the win by 0.1 as he out dragged Tim to the finish line! Third overall was Gareth Crisp only 0.2 behind Tim.
Fourth overall and leading the 125 National Class was Tim Philp, his CRG and TM combination working a treat edging Russell Jameison (5th overall) by 0.2s and Doug Amiss was less than a second further arears in 6th. As expected these 3 guys are set to duke it out all weekend honours.
Tony Moit (125 NGB Light) continued where he left off from qualifying taking home the class win. Stuart Robertson (125 TAG Heavy) took the class win ahead of fellow heavy driver Andrew Cain. The short turn around between quaifying and race 1 might have caught a few out with 7 DNF’s
