The shop

Where it actually happens.

Load. Unload. Clean. Inspect. Maintain. Adjust. Repeat. A racing season is a lot more than the laps turned on a Saturday.

Four race cars. One for each class — Senior Honda and Light 160 for Connor, Junior Honda and Junior 160 for Ryan.

The hours nobody photographs.

It's the countless hours in the garage, the little details, and the constant effort to keep everything race ready. That's the part that makes the checkered flags possible.

Two classes each means two cars each, and four cars means four sets of tyres, four gear changes, four sets of scales, and one very full shop.

Open door

Other families use this shop too.

Four families' cars have been through our shop this season — and the number grows considerably once we get to the track. From new seats being poured, to setup help, crash repair, or just simple maintenance, G² Racing is here to help and grow the sport we love so much.

The families who use the shop have given permission to show the work, not their names.

01New seats poured — a seat that fits the driver, not just the chassis
02Setup help — scales, stagger, gearing and what the car is actually telling you
03Crash repair — because everybody hits something eventually
04Simple maintenance — oil changes, chains, tyres, the jobs worth knowing how to do yourself

Race weekend, set up

The tent goes up, the cars come off the trailer, the tool cart comes out and the work starts. This is the part nobody photographs — and the part that decides how Saturday goes.
