T32 RACE REPORT – RIVERHAMPTON RACEWAY
March 5, 2026
Six enthusiastic racers arrived at Riverhampton Raceway, frothing at the bit to show off the latest improvements to their machines and prove that the countless hours spent in the garage were not entirely wasted.
Rebus was the lone absentee, currently touring Spain and reportedly focusing on tapas, scenery, and “mental preparation.” He has vowed to return stronger than ever at the next race after recharging his batteries with some well-deserved R&R (Racing & Rioja).
Before the racing began, the group gathered around the table and broke bread over a generous spread of Thai food, fueling up before heading to the grid with game faces firmly in place.
Meanwhile, recently returned from his African safari and widely publicized “tender moment” with a giraffe, Cupcake was busy in the stewards’ office. He and his legal team were once again arguing with the FIA marshals over the legitimacy of the points he earned before departing on safari — specifically the race where his Datsun was allegedly missing a front insert.
After lengthy deliberations, several finger-pointing sessions at the rulebook, and what witnesses described as a suspicious amount of winking, the FIA concluded that the car “must have started the race with the insert.”
Case closed.
Probably.
Class A – 1960s 1.5L GP Cars (14k FF Motor)
To break the ice, the group opened the evening with the always-entertaining 1960s 1.5-litre GP cars — a class that prioritizes finesse over brute speed.
Each race consisted of three three-minute heats, giving drivers just enough time to find a rhythm… or destroy it.
After several close and entertaining battles — including a spectacular crash that snapped Chip’s body post clean off, forcing a mid-heat car swap — Chip emerged as the undisputed winner.
Results
Chip – 70 laps (8.953 ext)
Cupcake – 70 laps (9.715 ext)
Ethan Hunt – 69 laps
Horshack – 68 laps
Sandy Bay – 68 laps (longer extension)
Kramer – 62 laps (after multiple offs and what appeared to be existential confusion)
Class B – Datsun 240Z – 7.90 Bracket (Points Race)
With everyone warmed up, the evening moved into the first points race — the always competitive Datsun 240Z class.
The opening heat featured Cupcake, Ethan, and Chip, immediately producing a series of tight nose-to-tail battles and multiple lead changes.
Ethan twice spun off, impressively clawing his way back into contention each time — only to eventually break out, losing a lap and finishing last in the heat.
Despite that early setback, Ethan battled back throughout the remaining heats and secured second place overall with 68 laps.
But the night belonged to Cupcake, who drove a steady and disciplined race to take the win with 69 laps.
Podium
Cupcake – 69 laps
Ethan – 68 laps
Chip – 67 laps
Ethan did salvage the fast lap bonus, posting a 7.911 in the Yellow lane.
Further back in the pack:
Class C – Front Motor Indy – 7.65 Bracket (Points Race)
If the Datsun race was competitive, the Front Motor Indy race was downright ruthless.
With championship points on the line, the gloves came off and elbows went up.
Unfortunately for Ethan, things went sideways immediately:
• Jumped the start and lost a lap
• Followed that with two breakout laps
Three laps down after the first heat is not an ideal strategy.
Meanwhile, Chip and Sandy quietly put together incredibly consistent runs, avoiding breakouts while clicking off fast laps.
Results
Chip – 69 laps (7.534 ext)
Sandy – 69 laps (14.767 ext)
Horshack – 69 laps (16.353 ext)
Further back:
Kramer – 68 laps
Ethan – 67 laps (but fastest lap at 7.654 in Yellow, just 0.004 from a breakout)
Cupcake – 67 laps (longer extension)
Those three lost laps in the first heat ultimately doomed Ethan’s chances.
Championship Impact
Two changes occurred in the standings:
Class D – Revoslot Jr. (Fastest Class – Exhibition)
With the points battles complete, the evening wrapped up with the fastest class of the night, raced purely for bragging rights.
This class delivered constant lead changes, dramatic crashes, and a few memorable barrel rolls.
The most exciting duel came between Ethan and Chip. For nearly an entire heat, Chip trailed Ethan by anywhere from four feet to four inches, occasionally running door-handle to door-handle.
Every time Chip looked ready to pass, Ethan somehow found just enough speed to pull away.
But Chip had a plan.
On the final lap, he positioned himself perfectly on Ethan’s rear bumper, timed the exit of the final turn perfectly, and slipped his nose ahead right at the finish line.
The crowd — which consisted entirely of the six racers themselves — erupted in applause.
A spectacular finish.
Final Thoughts
Another fantastic evening at Riverhampton filled with:
We’ll do it all again in two weeks at Cupcake Raceway.
Until then…
Keep the wheels down,
the brackets tight,
and make sure your front inserts are clearly visible to the marshals.

Until then…

the brackets tight,
