Just back from Round 1 of the Chevrolet V8 Supercars in Bahrain.

Good Results from my drivers.

In the SC09s (500+ bhp) I am working with Batelco Racing Team with Raed Raffii (who I worked with last year with Meezer Racing) and Mohammed Matter, one of the Middle-Easts Top Karters in his very first season of circuit racing.

Raed scored a 2nd and a 1st place finish and Mohammed ran very well in his first race weekend in these cars and at this circuit.

In the SC06s (400+ bhp) I am working with Alqasssim Hammidadin who I also helped last year. Alqassim scored a 2nd and a 3rd place finish.

Also helping Abdulaziz Al-Yaeesh in the SC09s with Onboard Video.

Here is a little taster until I can get the onboards processed and uploaded.

Some great action in the onboards which should be up in the next few days.

Great results Maxx; in what capacity are you there? Driver coach, cheerleader? ;)

Best of luck whatever it is. I've watched the footage (as I do with all of your videos) What a glorious noise it is that they make.

Haha, both of those and more besides :)

Ranges from Driver Coaching to Car Setup to Drivers PR to ... well, bit of everything really. The team didn't exist before this race weekend. In the past it was single car arrive n drive and the championship organisers provided and looked after everything. Only decision the driver really needed to make was what to do with tyres (2 new sets per race weekend).

It was pretty fraught and was very much learning as we go, none of these guys had been race mechanics before. A couple of the other teams had done stuff outside of this Championship which was run as a proper Motorsports team so they had some advantage there.

First onboard uploading now, will post on here when it's done.

They really make sweet music those things. Bet you have to watch your ankles on the front splitter when walking around the car!

Maxx, you have a horrid job, but someone has to do it lol.
