Summer Series and MAZDASPEED Challenge at Autobahn Country Club


(Braselton, GA. Aug. 23). It was the first time at the Autobahn Country Club for a Skip Barber Race Series weekend. Our MAZDASPEED Challenge MX-5 race cars were enhanced with new Penske Shocks leading to better races all weekend long. The drivers were fond of how easy the track was to drive and their lap times proved it. Scott Hargrove set the track record for the Formula Skip Barber race cars with a 1:30.826 and Connor Bloum set the record in the MAZDASPEED Challenge with a 1:41.875. All in all it was a great race weekend and we look forward to returning next year.
For Group 1, the BFGoodrich/Skip Barber National presented by Mazda, go here.
Group 2 Race 1 -Skip Barber Formula Summer Series
Group 2 Race 1 started off with two wave-offs at the line. We finally made it to green flag on the third try where Andrew Hobbs got a little sideways in turn six. Scott Anderson dropped a couple tires into five but stayed on track. Tristan Nunez was over Scott Hargrove going into six. Scott Hargrove, Tristan Nunez, Shelby Blackstock and Franco Aragones had a good battle for second. Tristan Nunez went under Scott Hargrove as they went into turn eleven. He took the position, but Scott fought back. On lap five, Sebastian Ordonez had a solid 10.5 car lengths over the rest. Tristan Nunez was still giving chase, Scott Hargrove maintained third. Scott Anderson and Franco Aragones went two wide but Franco tucked back in. Scott Anderson overtook Franco on the outside of eleven. By lap eight Shelby Blackstock and Scott Anderson joined the fight for the lead. Franco Aragones jumped over the curbing and Scott Anderson went three wide with Franco and Shelby and Scott prevailed. On lap nine, Sebastian Ordonez caught the back of the field and received a blue flag at six. Scott Anderson, in fourth, had broken away from Shelby Blackstock and Franco Aragones. By lap ten Franco Aragones and Shelby Blackstock were going back and fourth for fourth position. Tristan Nunez took the lead from Sebastian Ordonez on lap fourteen. They were nose to gearbox on lap fifteen where Sebastian Ordonez tried to take back the lead position. On the last lap Sebastian Ordonez had a run on Tristan Nunez, didn�t make it. Side by side at the apex of eleven, Tristan Nunez prevailed again. They came to the checkers with Tristan Nunez taking the win followed by Sebastian Ordonez, Scott Anderson, Scott Hargrove and Franco Aragones.
