π 41ST CLYDE MARSHALL MEMORIAL π
Race #24 β 2026
π Combined Districts Kart Club β Marrangaroo, NSW
The 41st Clyde Marshall Memorial was run and won on Sunday, August 16 at Lithgow City Raceway, with the event also forming Round 5 of the 2026 Club Championship.
Chayse currently leads the Rookie Club Championship, and both boys arrived at Lithgow ready for another weekend of racing and more valuable seat time.
With Chayse in red-hot form over the past month, he entered the weekend as one of the big favourites in the Rookie class.
π #52 CHAYSE ATTARD β CADET 12 / ROOKIES
Qualifying: π₯ P1/17 β 47.195, 0.6 sec clear of the field
Heat 1: P1 β π₯ P1 π£
Heat 2: P1 β P5
Heat 3: P2 β P2 π£
Final: P2 β P4
Chayse continued his outstanding 2026 campaign with an absolute cracker of a qualifying lap, putting six tenths between himself and the field in the wet conditions.
He backed it up with a dominant Heat 1 victory.
Heat 2 brought some drama. Chayse ran wide and dropped all the way back to P17, but showed exactly why he is leading the championship, charging his way back through the field to finish P5.
Heat 3 was another great battle, with Chayse and Kayden Dale finishing in a dead heat.
Then came the final.
When the lights went out, Chayse dropped into P2. He had the pace to challenge for the lead, but was playing the long game β settling in, looking after the kart and waiting for the perfect opportunity to make his move.
But the track had other ideas.
As the circuit started drying out, the wet tyres began to overheat. The team had gone with extra tyre pressure expecting the track to remain wet, but the surface dried much quicker than anticipated.
Chayse cooked the rears and unfortunately became a sitting duck.
He dug deep, held on and brought it home in P4.
Not the result we wanted, but another weekend showing just how much pace, maturity and fight this young driver has. πͺπ₯
π #521 CARMELO ATTARD β CADET 9 / NOVICE
Qualifying: P17/19 β Wet conditions
Heat 1: P17 β P12
Heat 2: P17 β P10
Heat 3: P6 β P13
Final: P13 β P16
Carmelo had an absolute ball this weekend! ππ
Apart from a slip-up in qualifying, it was a really positive weekend for the young gun.
With extremely tricky wet conditions and 20 competitors on track, Carmelo showed he could keep the kart on the circuit, make some really good passes and, most importantly, keep his cool and finish every race.
More laps, more experience and more confidence behind the wheel. π
Thatβs exactly what weβre looking for from Carmelo as he continues to develop.
