Noosa speed star races to state championships

Noosa Heads racing star Oscar Ray last weekend won the final of the Cadet 9P at Ipswich Kart Club (home of motorsport in Queensland).

The track is most known as the hardest and most technical in Queensland and the best competition in race at this track.

At age seven, Oscar is racing the seven-nine year old category.

In the first three heats, Oscar achieved two second places and a first place and managed to qualify for the final in pole position.

The final was at night (6pm) under lights where Oscar lead all eight laps to win his first final, hitting 90km/h per hour on the straights.

Oscar has been working very hard practicing for the past 12 months.

His ability to stay relaxed in such a tense environment is a testament to his character. His ability to execute a perfect race in the final when it counted was an incredible achievement for his age.

Oscar will be heading to the Queensland Karting State Championships in July where the race will be broadcast live online on the my sport live app.
