press release

After they have dominated the National Championship so far this year, the # 1 Jets Motorsport team are aiming to complete a clean sweep of all rounds and most importantly wrap up the point standings honours at the ‘Raleigh 6 Hour’. Although they are favourites, the # 1 Jets Motorsport team do not have the point standings battle in the bag and both the # 661 PDS Grand Prix and # 2 SCR remain in contention.
In the NSW Championship battle the # 1 Jets Motorsport outfit head the leader board going into the final round. Despite having a pretty solid grasp on the point standing leads, a bad run from them could see either # 777 Horsepower Racing and # 21 Walkos Racing steal their thunder if they are able to score podium finishes at the completion of the ‘Raleigh 6 Hour’.
It has been one of the strongest years to date for the # 661 PDS Grand Prix team. They currently lead the Queensland Championship and sit second in the National Championship and a victory in the ‘Raleigh 6 Hour’ could possibly see them take out both. The # 661 PDS Grand Prix team are aiming for a solid result to round out an impressive year. They currently lead the Queensland Championship ahead of the # 50 and # 51 Team 5150R; who both remain in contention.
Although they may be out of championship contention, you cannot discount the likes of # 66 Team Kaos, # 23 Bell Pipes Racing, # 152 Phantom Racing, # 2 BF Racing and # 27 Resi Sales Racing and a host of others when it comes to potential ‘Raleigh 6 Hour’ winners.
There are going to be 34 teams, consisting of between 2 to 3 drivers, that will line up to have a shot at winning the ‘Raleigh 6 Hour’.
Whatever the outcome to this Saturday’s ‘Raleigh 6 Hour’ it’s certainly going to be an exciting spectacle, especially with there being a total of three championships up for grabs.
Practice and qualifying session’s start from 8.20am and the ‘Raleigh 6 Hour’ race itself is set to start at 9.50am and conclude at 3.50pm.
The Raleigh International Raceway is located on the Valery Road, Raleigh, near Coffs Harbour.
