Round 3 of #PESC in the books, and it was another stellar round for the team. Simone had his best result yet in qualifying taking provisional pole early on, only to be beaten by Jordan who put together an exceptional lap to take his second pole position of the series and making an all Altus front row – a first for the team. Simone got the perfect get away from 2nd on the grid to take the lead into T1 and led from start to finish in an Altus 1-2 Sprint Race result.

The Feature race was trickier however, where unfortunate contact was made with Jordan and Bryn from Coanda Esports while under braking into T1. Jordan and Simone escaped most of the incident and after that it was mostly about setting consistent laps. Jordan was able to take advantage of Charlie Collins’ pass on Yohann Harth to take P3

It was a real tough round for Oscar Mangan, where a qualifying error buried him in the pack and susceptible to a likely incident we all though could happen with track blockages, etc. This affected the sprint race, and then again in the feature race despite holding well back to avoid contact. Nevertheless, we’re excited for the next round where we are confident all three cars can be back in contention.
