Quinn Racing Recaps

Circuit Excel Summer Series Round 1 - Rookie in my Racecar

This is my race car. But for once… I wasn’t the one driving it. Meet Lachlan Newell — a 20-year-old Formula Vee driver who’s much more used to open-wheel racing than front-wheel drive Excels. Until now, he’d never even driven a race car with a roof. So what better way to change that than to throw him straight into the deep end — the first round of the Circuit Excel SA Summer Series at Mallala Motorsport Park.

Round 6 SAMRC – The Bend International - Everything That Could Go Wrong, Did Go Wrong

Our final round of the 2025 Circuit Excel SA Championship was one for the books – not because of podiums or points, but because of how many curveballs were thrown at us. From late-night repairs to gearbox failures and technical disqualifications, Round 6 was pure chaos.

Quinn Racing at the AirTouch 500

The Repco Supercars AirTouch 500 at The Bend was an unforgettable weekend, and Quinn Racing was proud to be a part of it. While the Supercars put on an incredible show out on track, our Exo Terra–backed Hyundai Excel was on static display at Podium Park for all three days of the event.

Round 5 SAMRC – The Bend West - Intense 4-Car Battles, TV Shoutouts, and a Career Best (Again!)

New layout, same chaos—in the best way. Round 5 moved us to The Bend West configuration: shorter, bumpier, and with a first-time detour at T6 that turned out to be a pass-or-perish zone. Add changeable weather and long-stint races, and we had a proper test.

Round 4 SAMRC – Mallala Wet and Wild Racing, From Disappointment to Career Best

Two weeks after Round 3, we were back at Mallala Motorsport Park for a condensed Fri–Sat weekend: five practice sessions Friday, then qualifying and three races on Saturday (no Sunday running). Short turnaround, high stress—but no major issues rolling in, so we focused on rhythm and setup.

Round 3 SAMRC – The Bend International - Broadcasted Live, Bumper Bruises, and Big Points

A month off felt nice… until I strapped back in and realised I’d gone a little rusty. By Friday I was back in the groove and Round 3 delivered everything: TV time, elbows-out racing, a few bruised bumpers, and a tidy points haul.

Round 2 SAMRC – The Bend International - Wheel-to-Wheel Action and a Scary Brake Failure

The 2025 SAMRC rolled into The Bend International for Round 2 with a stacked Excel field and plenty of storylines. After a bruising Round 1 at Mallala, confidence was higher: more seat time, a track I know better, and both cars back together—despite Sam needing a fresh cylinder head after his Round 1 issues. The pair looked mint in the lane and we were keen to get stuck in.

Round 1 SAMRC – Mallala | Rookie Debut Weekend

The 2025 SAMRC season kicked off at Mallala Motorsport Park on February 21–22, and for Quinn Racing, it was a weekend of firsts. A brand-new car, a brand-new track, and my first official round in Circuit Excel — all wrapped into one scorching hot weekend under the South Australian sun.
