SEBRING 12HR DONE ✅🏁

What a day… what a mess… what a drive.
Started P1 with the lineup: Poli, Clydesdale, Logan, Baker Jr. — and honestly, we rolled into this one running purely on vibes. No real strategy, no proper stint plan… that didn’t come until about 2 hours to go 😅

Poli launched us off the line from pole, but Sebring chaos hit early. Cold tyres, traffic everywhere, cars going every direction — dropped back to P6 but kept it clean and consistent when it mattered most.

Clydesdale jumped in next and was thrown straight into the deep end. 49° track temp, endless traffic, and a slight wall tap didn’t make life easy — but he dug in, stayed composed, and got the job done over a tough double stint.

Then came Baker Jr… and let’s just say there were concerns after last year 😬
This time? 17x in 2 hours — but somehow dragged the car from P11 to P7 without passing anyone. Still trying to figure that one out.

Poli back in the car next and absolutely sent it. Consistency, pace, and experience showing — clawed us all the way back up to P2 and turned the Porsche into a weapon.

Right on cue… the Logan-ator finally arrived after a long day of “team management” (and a spa day 💅). Calm, cool, and clinical — jumped in, took P2 out of the pits and built a massive gap with pure consistency. Elite stint.

Final 2.5 hours — Baker Jr again.
P2. 3 incident points left before a penalty.
It got tense… fast.
49/50 incident points with under 2 hours to go 😬
But under pressure, he delivered. Kept it clean, stayed within the lines, and brought it home strong with no penalty — finishing P4 after 12 hours of absolute carnage.

We might’ve gone backwards on paper, but this was one of our best endurance rounds as a team. Effort, chaos, laughs, and some seriously solid driving across the board.

Short and sweet from us as we’re all off to get some sleep!

Huge thanks to all our sponsors and supporters for backing us, and especially our families for letting us lock ourselves away for 12 hours of carnage ❤️
SCR 💪🔥

🏁 NÜRBURGRING 4HR ENDURANCE – TEAM BAKER & CLYDESDALE 🏁

Strap in, because this one had everything, pace, panic, fuel maths, and just enough chaos to keep it very Nürburgring.

Qualifying kicked off with Baker laying down a tidy 7:58.614, slotting the car into P10 on the grid. Not pole, but close enough to smell the carnage heading into Turn 1… and oh, there was carnage.

STINT 1 – BAKER
Lights out, and the Nürburgring immediately reminded everyone why it’s called the Green Hell. Spinners everywhere, cars doing interpretive dance routines across the track, but Baker kept it clean, cool, and most importantly… on the black stuff.

While others were busy auditioning for “Fast & Furious: Gravel Edition,” Baker quietly picked them off one by one, climbing from P10 to P6 by the end of the stint. No heroics, just smart driving and survival instincts.

STINT 2 – CLYDESDALE
Enter Clydesdale.
Mr. Consistency. The human metronome. The anti-George Russell (apparently).

Lap after lap, he delivered clean, fast, no-nonsense driving, cutting through traffic like a hot knife through butter, except the butter is GT cars and the knife is absolutely dialled in. Minimal incident points, maximum efficiency.

By the time he handed it back, the car was sitting pretty in P4. Big moves. Big energy.

STINT 3 – BAKER
Back in the car, Baker chose violence.

Fast laps? Yes.
Fuel saving? Absolutely not.

Hammering out “ripper” lap times, it quickly became clear the fuel tank was disappearing faster than free food at a party. A quick reality check later, Baker backed it off just enough to hit the required laps, bringing it home in P3 before the final handover.

Controlled chaos. We’ll take it.

FINAL STINT – CLYDESDALE
Clydesdale jumped back in… briefly dropping to P4 after the pits, but calm as ever, he got straight back to work.

Smooth. Clean. Clinical.

With a 3-minute gap to P5, the strategy call was on: splash and dash. No risks, just enough juice to make it to the end without turning the final lap into a Flintstones episode.

He brought it home strong.

🏁 FINAL RESULT: P4 🏁

A massive drive from both lads:

Fastest lap: 7:58.954
30 laps completed
~8-minute average lap
4950 corners (yes… every single one of them)
750km driven

And most importantly… the car stayed (mostly) pointing in the right direction.

Shoutout to the absolute weapon of a livery too, arguably worth at least 2 tenths a lap.

WHAT’S NEXT?

The baton passes on to:

Poli & Logan
Cobra & Connors

Another 4 hours at the Nürburgring tomorrow.

No pressure lads… but we’ve set the bar. Bring it home strong. 💪🔥

Bathurst – MC Motorsport Championship Round

Southern Cross Racing rolled into Mount Panorama for the latest round of the MCM Motorsport Championship, fielding three cars in what was shaping up to be one of the tightest grids of the season.

Drivers & Cars
🏁 Mick Poli – Porsche
🏁 Keith Logan – Porsche
🏁 Lucas Baker – Corvette

With just two seconds separating the entire 26-car field in qualifying, the team knew consistency and survival would be the key to getting a result around the mountain.

The format for the night was two 20-lap sprint races, with a Top 10 reverse grid for Race 2.

RACE 1

As the red lights went out, the field launched into the traditional Bathurst chaos heading into Turn 1.

Just as predicted, the opening laps delivered absolute carnage, with several of the front runners coming together early. Thankfully the Southern Cross Racing cars avoided the initial chaos and began climbing through the field.

By Lap 5 the pressure ramped up. In a moment of friendly fire, Baker found himself flashing the headlights at Logan before the pair made contact approaching the Quarry Bend. Baker survived the encounter with minor damage, but Logan’s Porsche suffered heavily and was unable to limp back to pit lane, eventually requiring a tow back to the pits.

The race continued to deliver incidents across the grid as the field fought the mountain.

Despite the chaos:

🏁 Mick Poli ran a clean and consistent race to bring the Porsche home P10
🏁 Lucas Baker recovered after repairs to finish P22
🏁 Keith Logan classified P23 after the earlier damage

RACE 2

With the reverse grid format, Race 2 promised more action — and unfortunately for the Southern Cross team, it delivered the wrong kind.

The race quickly descended into more incidents and penalties across the field, with several drivers being caught up in contact.

Poli once again showed strong pace and racecraft, remaining the standout performer for the team, while both Baker and Logan found themselves taken out in separate incidents, forcing lengthy pit repairs once again.

The stewards were busy throughout the race with multiple penalties handed out across the field, highlighting just how intense the racing was around Mount Panorama.

TEAM SUMMARY

It was ultimately a frustrating night for Southern Cross Racing, with damage and incidents preventing the team from showing its full potential.

However, the team continues to demonstrate strong pace, and with Poli consistently running in the top ten, the foundations are there for a stronger result in the coming rounds.

Sometimes the mountain gives… and sometimes it takes.

Last night — it took.

But Southern Cross Racing will be back.

🏁 SOUTHERN CROSS RACING – NEW DRIVER SIGNING 🏁

Southern Cross Racing is proud to officially welcome Michael Connell to the team.

Hailing from New Zealand, Michael brings far more than just driving talent to the table. A professional GT3 Porsche mechanic, Michael has built a reputation around precision, preparation, and an eye for the small details that separate good teams from great ones.

Working hands-on with GT3 Porsche machinery, Michael understands these cars from the inside out — from setup philosophy and mechanical balance to tyre behaviour and race strategy. That depth of technical knowledge gives him a unique advantage behind the wheel, and it's something that will undoubtedly raise the bar across the entire Southern Cross Racing program.

Motorsport is often decided in the smallest margins — braking zones measured in centimetres, tyre pressures measured in tenths, and setup changes measured in millimetres. Having someone like Michael in the garage and on the grid strengthens the whole operation. His experience with high-level GT3 preparation, race engineering insight, and mechanical discipline adds another layer of professionalism to the team.

But just as importantly, Michael fits exactly what Southern Cross Racing is about — hard work, good people, and serious racing.

We’re excited to have a Kiwi in the shed, and we’re looking forward to seeing what he can do in the Southern Cross colours.

Welcome to the family, Michael. 🇳🇿🏁

The bar just got raised.

🏁 SOUTHERN CROSS RACING – IMSA BATHURST RECAP (LAST SATURDAY) 28th Feburary

Southern Cross Racing took on the mountain in a brutal 2-hour IMSA multiclass enduro at Mount Panorama Circuit — and it delivered everything.

High-speed traffic.
Zero margin for error.
Concrete walls waiting for the smallest mistake.

🟢 Poli Took It Head-On

Mick Poli strapped into the Ford Mustang GT4 and faced relentless multiclass chaos from start to finish.

The traffic was insane.

Prototypes and faster GT machinery were constantly swarming, especially across Skyline, The Esses, and into Forrest’s Elbow. Closing speeds were savage. One lapse in focus would’ve ended it.

But Poli stayed locked in.

💪 Committed to his racing line

🧠 Managed traffic with composure

🧱 Kept the car clean over two hours

🎯 Delivered when it mattered

He didn’t wait for opportunities — he took them. Clean, decisive, controlled.

🔥 Hard-Earned P9 Finish

After two hours of nonstop pressure, Poli crossed the line in P9 — a strong top-ten result in stacked IMSA multiclass competition.

No panic.
No wild lunges.
Just disciplined endurance racing.

Last Saturday wasn’t about survival — it was about proving Southern Cross Racing can fight in the thick of IMSA traffic and come out the other side with a result.

Two hours.
The Mountain.
Position 9.

That’s how you take on Bathurst.

02/03/2026

The first MC Motorsport championship visit to the newly added Adelaide street circuit on iRacing delivered chaos, carnage, and one undeniable headline:

Campbell Adams dominated.

Behind the wheel of the Lamborghini Huracán GT3, Adams was unstoppable from practice onward. Pole position. Two race wins. Maximum points. A clinical display on a circuit that punishes even the smallest mistake.

Championship rivals Reece Wakefield and Daniel McCrohan couldn’t match the pace, and Wakefield’s Race 2 mechanical DNF snapped his win streak — though he still holds a narrow grip on a potential back-to-back title.

🚧 Concrete Jungle Mayhem

Adelaide proved brutal.

Race 1 featured two early safety cars that completely reshuffled the grid. Walls closed in. Tempers rose. Margins disappeared.

McCrohan was caught in the chaos, as were recent front-runners Ian Ward and Jeremy Washington. The street circuit showed no mercy — small misjudgements quickly escalated into race-altering damage.

Patience was thin across the field, and several ambitious moves resulted in significant incidents.

🟢 Southern Cross Racing – Grit and Frustration

It was a night of mixed results for Southern Cross Racing.

Mick Poli was once again the team’s benchmark. Two races, two strong finishes. Clean, calculated, and reliable as always when the chaos unfolded around him.

Keith Logan delivered a solid Race 1, finishing P13 in what was largely a survival contest.
Unfortunately, Race 2 brought technical issues that forced Logan to retire early and observe from pit lane — a frustrating end after a composed opening race performance.

Lucas “Baker Jnr” endured a tough evening, caught up in incidents triggered by overly aggressive driving in a circuit that simply doesn’t forgive.

Adelaide demands discipline. When it’s missing, the walls decide the outcome.

🔄 Reverse Grid Shake-Up

Race 2’s reverse grid format created opportunity.

Oceane Colangelo and Liam Tipping capitalised after their Race 1 misfortune, battling intensely to secure top-five finishes overall.

Washington converted a Race 2 P1 start into a podium for the round.

But even starting P10, Adams sliced through the field with precision, completing a flawless sweep and firmly inserting himself into the championship conversation.

📊 Championship Impact

Wakefield’s DNF has cracked the door open.
Adams has kicked it wide.

The Streets of Adelaide didn’t just end a streak — they reshaped the title fight.

And if this round proved anything…

The championship battle just went up another level. 🏁

SOUTHERN CROSS RACING CLAIMS HISTORIC PODIUM AT THE BATHURST 12 HOUR 🥉
4

Bathurst, Australia — Southern Cross Racing has delivered its strongest endurance performance to date, securing a landmark podium finish at the legendary Bathurst 12 Hour at the iconic Mount Panorama Circuit.

Fielding two competitive entries across two splits, the team showcased depth, resilience, and race-winning pace over twelve relentless hours around one of motorsport’s most unforgiving circuits.

🟢 TEAM GREEN – 🥉 P3 FINISH

Mick Poli – Lucas Baker – Nick Clydesdale

Team Green’s campaign was nothing short of world-class.

After qualifying P8 courtesy of a sharp lap from Mick Poli, the trio methodically worked their way forward. A composed opening stint elevated the car to P4, and by the second stop, Lucas “Baker Jr” Baker had the team sitting P2.

Baker Jr delivered a calm, clinical double stint — holding firm in the fight for the lead under immense pressure. Poli then executed a commanding triple stint, stretching the advantage to 1.5 minutes at one stage in what was arguably one of the drives of the event.

Then came the turning point.

A rival’s technical freeze triggered a multi-car incident that left Southern Cross Racing heavily damaged and towed — dropping from the lead back to P10.

What followed defined the team.

Baker Jr returned to the cockpit and lit up the timing sheets as the fastest car on track, carving through the field and hauling the team back to P5 on pure pace.

Nick Clydesdale took over for the final triple stint, executing smart strategy calls alongside Baker, delivering clean overtakes, and capitalising on late-race drama to secure a hard-earned P3 finish.

This result marks Southern Cross Racing’s best endurance performance in team history.

🔵 TEAM BLUE – 🏁 P8 FINISH

Anthony Connors – Michael Connell

Team Blue delivered one of the most remarkable recovery drives of the event.

Starting from the pits in P47, Anthony Connors launched the charge before bravely stepping aside after aggravating a back injury — a testament to the commitment within the squad.

Michael Connell stepped in immediately, fresh from acquiring emergency equipment, and launched into a double stint that propelled the car from P47 to P5 in just three hours.

Despite suffering setbacks through tyre-related incidents and damage that dropped the team back to P19, the duo refused to surrender.

Through resilience, disciplined repairs, and sheer determination — including surviving a dramatic final-corner crash on the last lap with significant suspension damage — Team Blue crossed the line in an impressive P8.

The pace was undeniable. The grit was unquestionable.

Leadership Statement

Scooter, Chief Financial Officer of Southern Cross Racing, commented:

“From an operational standpoint, this event validates the structure, preparation and discipline we’ve been building as an organisation. Fielding two competitive cars in a 12-hour endurance race requires coordination, trust and ex*****on. Every member of this team delivered.”

Keith Logan, Team Owner of Southern Cross Racing, added:

“I could not be prouder. This podium wasn’t gifted — it was fought for. From leading the race, to recovering from damage, to climbing back onto the podium — that is the character of this team.

To see one car secure our first endurance podium while the second charges from P47 to P8 shows the depth of Southern Cross Racing. This is a defining moment for us.”

A Team Effort

Southern Cross Racing extends sincere thanks to its team sponsors, individual driver partners, and the families behind the scenes who support the countless hours of preparation required for events of this magnitude.

This podium represents more than a result — it represents growth, belief, and the emergence of Southern Cross Racing as a genuine endurance contender.

🏁 BATHURST 12 HOUR – RACE WRAP 🏁
What a day at the legendary Bathurst 12 Hour around Mount Panorama Circuit.

Southern Cross Racing rolled out TWO CARS. TWO SPLITS. ONE MASSIVE STATEMENT.

🟢 TEAM GREEN
Mick Poli – Lucas Baker – Nick Clydesdale
🏆 FINISH: P3

Started P8 after a flying quali lap from Poli.
Strong opening stint saw us climb to P4 after the first stop.
By the second stop and handover to Baker Jr — we were sitting P2.

Freshly married and ice-cool under pressure, Baker Jr kept us in the fight for P1 during a mega double stint.
Then Poli stepped up for a monster triple stint — stretching the lead to 1.5 minutes at one stage. Absolute class.

But the mountain gives and the mountain takes.
A rival’s PC freeze triggered a multi-car crash, leaving us towed and facing heavy repairs. From leading… back to P10.

Enter Baker Jr again.
Fastest car on track.
Timing sheets lit up.
Clawed back to P5 on raw pace alone.

Clydesdale took over for the final triple stint, exiting pits in P6. With smart strategy calls alongside Jr, clean moves, strong pace — and a little racing luck — we climbed to P4.
Late-race carnage opened the door…

🥉 P3 SECURED.

🔥 SOUTHERN CROSS RACING’S BEST ENDURANCE RESULT EVER.

🔵 TEAM BLUE
Anthony Connors – Michael Connell
🏁 FINISH: P8
Started from the pits in P47.

Connors kicked things off but had to step out early after throwing his back out down the mountain (commitment levels unmatched 💀).

Connell rushed back from JB Hi-Fi with a brand-new sheepskin earmuff headset and jumped straight in for a double stint.
In just 3 hours — they hauled the car from P47 to P5. Unreal drive.

Then disaster struck.

Cold tyres. Spins. Damage.
Back to P19.
Michael may have pushed a little too hard (silly goose 🪿)…
But they dug deep again.

Through grit, repairs, and even a MASSIVE crash in the final two corners on the last lap — with a 45-degree back wheel — they brought it home in P8.
The car was an absolute jet all day.

AS A TEAM ❤️
We are beyond proud to field two cars in a 12-hour enduro.
Every driver delivered. Every stint mattered.
Huge congratulations to Team Green for bringing home Southern Cross Racing’s first endurance podium 🥉

Massive thank you to all our team sponsors and individual driver sponsors for your continued support.
And to our families — thank you for letting us lock ourselves away for 12 hours of madness around the mountain.
This one means a lot.

SOUTHERN CROSS RACING – 12 HOUR ASSAULT ON THE MOUNTAIN

Facebook Family… it’s go time.

Southern Cross Racing is officially locked in for the first enduro of the year — the 12 Hour at the mountain — and we’re rolling up with TWO race-ready Porsches prepared for war.

Not showroom cars.
Not weekend track toys.
Full endurance-spec machines built for 12 relentless hours.

THE MACHINERY – 2 x PORSCHE GT WEAPONS

Both cars have been prepped specifically for endurance racing:

Race-tuned suspension setups dialled for stability over the mountain’s bumps and kerbs
Enduro fuel mapping to maximise stint length
Brake cooling optimisation for heavy downhill punishment
Tyre management programs tested across double and triple stints
Night visibility configurations for late-race conditions
Pit stop rehearsals drilled until they’re second nature

These cars have been through long-run simulations, setup revisions, and full fuel load testing. Every adjustment has been made with one goal — consistency across 12 brutal hours.

Skyline. The Esses. The Dipper. The Chase.
If your setup isn’t right, the mountain will expose you.

Ours are ready.

DRIVER LINE-UP

Strapping into the two Porsches:

• Mick Poli – The tyre whisperer. Calm, strategic, clinical in traffic. AKA the "DOCTOR"
• Lucas Baker – Precision and pace. Built for long stints. Newly married and the bride is understanding - WE HOPE!
• Anthony “The Cobra” Connors – Aggressive when it’s on. Calculated bravery through the fast stuff .And known to attract the wildlife!
• Nick Clydesdale – Smooth operator. Night stint specialist. Like a lion stalking its prey , calculating , cunning and you won't see him coming .
• Mick Connell – Fresh off the boat from across the ditch. We offered him sunshine, horsepower and a proper enduro campaign and he didn’t hesitate. The Kiwi Mafia spotted the talent — we said yes to the sheepskin seat cover , we gave him the keys to a Porsche. Let’s see what the import can do.

Behind the scenes, Keith Logan continues pushing hard to secure his place after preparation setbacks tried to derail momentum. Technical interruptions and lost seat time would’ve stopped most — but not here. Reset. Refocused. Back in the fight.

That’s endurance racing mentality.

WHAT THIS RACE DEMANDS

This isn’t a sprint.

✔ 12 hours of tyre management
✔ Fuel numbers calculated to the lap
✔ Traffic navigation across a stacked grid
✔ Zero room for mistakes at the top of the hill
✔ Sunrise to darkness concentration

One greedy move at Skyline? Race over.
One missed braking marker into The Chase? Damage.

It rewards discipline. It punishes ego.

Southern Cross Racing isn’t just showing up.

We’re prepared.
We’re disciplined.
We’re bringing two fully prepped Porsche machines ready to endure.

Two cars.
Five drivers.
One mountain.
Twelve brutal hours.

Let’s get behind the team.

The mountain awaits.
