On Sunday, March 23, 2025, the Porsche Club of Victoria hosted the Sandown 300 Team Regularity event. This event marked the final regularity competition organised by the club, featuring updated regulations to accommodate faster vehicles and enhance on-track safety for all participants, including flag marshals, officials, teams, and drivers.
The day unfolded under clear skies and dry conditions, creating an ideal atmosphere for motorsport enthusiasts. Teams gathered to compete over a five-hour period, aiming for the most consistent lap times rather than sheer speed. This emphasis on precision and consistency was well-received by competitors, who appreciated the unique challenge presented by the format.
It was delightful to observe how each team managed their operations, each bringing their distinct flair to the event. From individualised pit boards and customised uniforms to unique procedural approaches, these elements underscored the diverse strategies and cultures within the motorsport community. This variety enriched the event, fostering a vibrant atmosphere that celebrated both individuality and a shared passion for racing.
Big thank you to MMM Accounting & Business Management for sponsoring this year’s event.
The day ran smoothly, thanks to the diligent efforts of officials, the motorsport committee, and the flag marshals, whose unwavering support ensured a safe and enjoyable experience for all. A particularly heartwarming tradition was the exchange of waves between drivers and flag marshals at the end of each session, fostering a sense of camaraderie and mutual respect among all involved.
The competition concluded with the following teams securing podium positions:
First Place: Porsche Specialists
Second Place: Has Beens
Third Place: Team Mezger
Notably, two women's teams participated this year: The Leadfoot Ladies from the Porsche Club and the BMW Women's Team, highlighting the growing inclusivity in motorsport.
Individual special mention to our most consistent male and female drivers of the day :
Most Consistent Driver of the Day: Juris Briedis
Most Consistent Woman of the Day: Patrina Astbury
As this long-standing event draws to a close, first initiated by the Porsche Club many years ago, heartfelt thanks are extended to all club officials and members who have contributed to its success over the years. The day not only celebrated competitive spirit but also the unity of various car clubs coming together for the love of motorsport.
Looking ahead, PCV is set to participate in Round Four at The Bend in South Australia, looking forward to seeing you all there!
