Round 2 of the eNASCAR Road to Pro Qualifying Series made its way to the Rockingham Speedway for Race 4 of the series. We had a mixed qualifying result with Cosey and Jordy running P5 and P7, with Merch and CP in 21st and 24th respectively.

The race track was formidable however. Cosey and Jordy steadily moved into the top few positions before Cosey was bumped slightly and narrowly escaped a massive wreck with a huge save. Jordy was able to come home P3, while Merch and CP made huge moves in the race to gain 17 and 16 positions each, while Cosey recovered to a P6 finish. Huge effort from everyone!

We’ve now surpassed the halfway mark of the series, with all four Altus drivers running inside the Top 20 to qualify for the next round, with or without the drop round.
3 rounds left – let’s go!

We’ve known Ryan for a fair while, being extremely quick in our Just Send It series regardless of whatever challenge was thrown at him. With a drive to pursue sim racing alongside his real world career, we wasted little time in signing this talented 17 year old racer.

Ryan has been racing in the Best Bars Toyota 86 Series in New Zealand, finishing 3rd in the championship and learning a lot along the way. Ryan’s also scheduled to compete in the 2021 South Island Endurance Series in a Porsche 991 Gen 1 Cup Car, which we all hope escapes the latest outbreaks and can run as scheduled.

Watch out for Ryan in the upcoming V8 SCOPS Premier Series rounds, along with other road racing categories and special events.

With James Scott (BP) and Cooper Webster (Team 18) already announced, this time it is Sam Blacklock who is announced as a driver in the Cash Converters Supercars Pro Eseries.

Sam had to go the hard yards qualifying via the draft and finishing fifth in the standings despite a blown engine in the final race. Swyftx saw what they needed to see, and selected Sam for his second successive Eseries. In the Bathurst Enduro, he’ll be racing with Jayden Ojeda which will be a strong pairing.

Congratulations Sam!

The penultimate week of the iRX Qualifier Series has wrapped up at Sonoma, and although it would be a bruising affair for both Beau and Luis, they would most importantly leave this week with enough of a gap to the cut-off, to qualify for the 2021 World Championship.

For Beau, this will be his third year in World Championship competition following on from the VRS GT World Championship in 2018, and the Rallycross World Championship last year.

But for Luis, this is his first attempt at qualifying for; and making it into the World Championship and we couldn’t be more excited to see how he gets on in his debut year!

The final round of the Qualifier Series goes to Charlotte Motor Speedway, let’s give it our best shot to end the series on a high!

Round Five of the iRX World Championship Qualifying Series took our drivers to the car-breaking Phoenix Raceway. Luis showed strong pace with third in Qualifying but would be left fighting back after a tricky start in his Heat.

Luis would recover strongly in the Final, taking a fourth Top-5 finish for the Season, and score great points to move him up the points table. Beau would have a trickier event after a difficult qualifying session left him in the mid-pack chaos.

Beau would make a great getaway in the Final, and made a pass for Third on-track, only to get spun around by the other driver on the corner exit, dumping him to last place. However, did pickup the Fastest Lap for the second event in succession in his recovery effort.

With just Two Rounds left, both Beau and Luis remain comfortably above the Qualification Cut-Off, and can lock themselves into the World Championship next time out at Sonoma!

Round 2, Race 3 and Jordy Lopez picks up another 2nd place finish in a row with a great strategy to move up from 5th place on the grid. Merch and Cosey put together another very solid round, finishing 11th and 12th place respectively, whilst CP had a tougher day coming home in 23rd place.

Jordy now moves up in the standings to 4th overall, with Merch and Cosey matching their race result sitting 11th and 12th in the standings and CP in 19th place without counting the drop round. All inside the qualification zone so far!

In two weeks time the series moves back to the ovals at Rockingham Speedway to reach the mid point of the season.

It was another strong race for Cooper Webster in PESC Qualifying, backing up 5th place with another 5th place result at Barcelona.

For Jordan Caruso the bad luck continued with an unfortunate netcode contact from behind tipping him into a spin. He was able to recover as best he could to 19th, but the hopes of a good points haul were lost.

Next week it is the Red Bull Ring… that ought to be exciting!

It’s another podium for Altus in the iRX Qualifying Series, with Beau Albert coming home in third this time in the VW Beetle, taking a heat victory in the process. It was a tough round for Luis

Núñez, getting turned early in the feature on only able to salvage 9th in the end.

After 4 rounds, Beau sits 6th, and Luis sits 11th in the standings and well within the qualification zone with just three rounds to go!

Next up… Phoenix!
