2014 NSW Supersprint Rnd 2 pic 22014 NSW Supersprint Round 2, Sunday 10th May, at the Sydney Motor Sport Park GP Circuit.

Way to go MX-5 Club!

On ARDC's home turf, we outscored them by 40 points to bring our championship total to 814 points, only 15 behind the ARDC on 829 points.

The MX-5 Club was represented by 21 drivers, after a few last minute withdrawals. Conditions were great all day, and although in the afternoon approaching dark clouds threatened rain, it did not eventuate. Drivers had the opportunity for 5 runs, each of 8 minutes after a warm-up lap, and with the good conditions the result was many PBs.

The next supersprint round is at the SMSP North Circuit, which is not very MX-5 friendly, so we need a big effort with as many club members as possible entering to help score as many points as possible.

Supporters are always welcome too, and entry to the circuit is free for spectators. Come and say hi to TeamMX5.
