Marcus Hudson uses EBC’s Green kart pads in the real world
Kart Racer, Marcus Hudson, competes in the Super 4 British Championship, using EBC’s Green kart pads and BF005.1 silicone fluid in his ABKC 250cc National kart.
During the off-season, he kept his eye in by competing in various sim racing championships, not least the gruelling iRacing Bathurst 12 Hour with the Offline Racing team in a GT3-class Porsche.
With 49 teams entering, Offline Racing secured impressive results after the endurance stint, as you can find out below in Marcus’ own words…
“Offline Racing competed in the iracing Bathurst 12 Hour race. Phil Lvov started the race on a damp, greasy circuit and got up to 5th in his first stint.
“Marcus Hudson then took over for his first stint and moved from 26th to 11th in torrential rain, but the rain stop half-way through his stint and the circuit was getting drier and drier.
“Andrew Caskey took over and had a moment coming out of The Chase and went off. Luckily, he had no damage and came into the pits and changed to slicks as the circuit was drying – he was one of the first to do this.”
“He made great progress up to 4th in his triple stint (3 hours non-stop). Unfortunately, the rain fell again and we pitted one lap later than we should and lot just over 40 seconds due to being on slicks on a wet circuit.
“Phil started another stint (over half the race gone and he hadn’t seen a dry circuit). It did dry out for the end of his stint and Marcus did the final stint and the team finished in 11th place out of 49 teams.”
Stay tuned to hear how Marcus gets on in his real-world racing as the season starts again soon…
