750MC Ma7da Championship 2024 | Brands Hatch, 24th August | Race 2 | Sam McKee #21 onboard
Come race two of the 750MC Ma7da Championship round at Brands Hatch, the car behaved herself perfectly - throttle cable and all! - and this time, a solid result came.
Dancing around a still rain-slicked circuit with plenty of discipline required, I brought her home tenth to round out a meeting full of smiles. From a cracking Friday paddock party put on by Team Sellars Racing through being hosted by Rob to top support from Ryan on Saturday, it was a thoroughly enjoyable weekend and I'm now really itching to see what I can pull out of the bag at the next round: Mallory Park, 6th October. I can't wait!

Pouring rain and a soaked circuit greeted us in Kent, and after finding the car a proper handful all through qualifying I was pleasantly surprised to find myself "only" 11th of the 24 cars lining up on the grid! That strong field wasn't to survive the start, though. Four cars got tangled in a big shunt off the line, and I narrowly avoided getting clobbered by flying bodywork threading my way th...

Well, it *started* ok.. I knew I had a lot to do from way down the pack in today's Trackday Trophy race, and I was really pleased with how the start turned out. I'd bagged eight places by the end of the first corner, and got straight on the back of the Class C pack of my prime competitors. I couldn't hang onto them, though. This wasn't traffic, conditions or tyres..the car just didn't want to t...

Well, that was a strange old day at Donington on Sunday. I usually expect a sunny meeting to run smoothly by mid-season, when cars and drivers should have all their cobwebs blown out from the winter, yet I saw a red flag in every session I watched at this BRSCC meeting! Ours were no exception, with a Mini beached in the gravel on the Melbourne loop calling time on qualifying just after I'd got ...

Race 2, I'd had a stern word with myself. I'm simply not familiar enough with this car to throw it around with the abandon I can show in the E36 - and not attuned enough to always be able to collect it if it goes wrong. Concentrate, hit all your marks, drive the car properly and *only* as fast as you can.. not an ounce faster. Still a little swamped at the start, I fought back through the first...

After a scrappy but ultimately happy qualifying, I deepened the theme in Race 1. From 9th on the grid I overcooked the start a bit, but had some really good dices until I threw the car off trying to be a bit too clever at Gerard's. Fortunately, she spun to a halt on the grass long before the wall, and I rejoined behind Matt Graux and Mike Jacobs. Still not making life easy for myself, I passed ...

Man alive, the old girl's still got it. Victory in 750MC - Roadsports at Anglesey, richly satisfying after a titanic scrap between four cars that went right down to the line - the winning margin after 45 minutes, just 0.47 seconds. There's some line about an inch or a mile in there somewhere.. It's been a long while since I stood on the top step, and frankly I still can't quite believe it. I wa...

    Love these Vlogs with the Ma7da. Think I need to consider moving out of Karts and into this series. It looks like a great entry into club motorsport. Quick question, can you fit a passenger seat without too much difficulty? For instance, if you wanted to do a couple of track days with pax and then unbolt the seat and fit the cover for race meetings?

    • @McKeeMotorsport
      @McKeeMotorsport 2 роки тому

      Thanks Mike, that's great to hear. You would not be the first karter to switch into Ma7da, though you'd have to work hard to be the most successful because there's been some real crackers! Yes, it's straightforward to fit a passenger seat so long as the car has been laid out with that in mind - ie. not putting the fire extinguisher or battery where their arse or legs need to go! Once prepared, fitting or removing the seat and harnesses is a ten-minute job.
