  • VW 16V dominates at Eastern Creek

    After years of persistence and learning Robertson Motorsport silenced the
    critics and ruffled feathers at Eastern Creek.

    CAMS sanctioned category Racing Cars and Sports sedans attracted 34 entrys.
    This was a field including F3 Dallara's, Radicals and Wests. Many of which
    were late model designs featuring heavily modified, fuel injected engines of
    naturally aspirated design.

    Despite this we dominated the weekend with a relatively stock Golf 16 valve
    running weber 48 DCOE carbies. Thats right a $6,000 low tech VW defeated
    high tech designs costing many more times. Added to this was its chassis
    being an 18 year old Reynard F3 chassis that still had the goods.

    The only non original parts in the engine being Wiseco forged pistons,
    ARP rod and head studs.

    Heres a link of the results



    Congrats also to state champion Ben Morley for his winning drive.

      Congratulations!

      Just out of interest what was your other car, the Dallara running - the same set up?

          We run the exact same powerplant/spec in all our chassis.
          The different chassis ( Dallara vs Reynard ) each have their
          pro's and cons but they balance out.

          So it comes down to driver, we have run some very talented youngster's
          at one stage or another. This weekend at Wakefield we gave Sam Power
          from Adelaide a go and he was just amazing.

          Despite starting from the back of the grid ( nervous, never raced open wheeler) Sam stormed thru all the midfield to finish 9th. It was complete
          ownage, all from someone only 16 just finishing his CAMS P plates!

          Will post more photos soon
