For any driver, starting your campaign on the right foot provides a needed boost of confidence heading into a long season. Blake Worboys did just that at Sebring, securing a 17th place finish to get his season underway.
Worboys is one of the many returning drivers to the Motorsport Australia Logitech G Pro Invitational Cup in 2023. With experience on his side along with an expanded WK&P lineup, 2023 will be a big year for Blake Worboys.
The Motorsport Australia Logitech G Pro Invitational Cup sat down with Blake ahead of the Watercraft Performance Centre Phillip Island Super Sprint to get his thoughts.
Reporter: It’s been a Solid start to your 2023 campaign, has your run at Sebring given you a boost of confidence heading into Phillip island?
Worboys: It definitely has given me the confidence that I am improving as a sim racer and that my setup knowledge is getting better with each session. Sebring was definitely a tough track to get right, but I believe we have definitely made some good progress over last year.
R: Phillip island has proven in the past it can be a difficult circuit to pass. What do you think will be the key for you personally to getting the best from yourself in qualifying?
Worboys: Phillip Island is definitely tough to pass at but not impossible with moves at turn 1, Miller and MG some great opportunities. In saying that, working with my young team mate Harrison to give each other a draft in qualifying while trying to find our own piece of realestate on track will be vital to a good qualifying position.
R: Are you finding having your teammate Harrison Dengate alongside you this year as an advantage compared to 2022?
Worboys: It is great having Harrison in the series this year. His school work does keep him busy, but we find time in our busy schedules to practice together. We work well together and like very similar things from our cars which makes life easier for us. It's great to throw ideas around with someone else in the series, unlike last year doing it all myself.
R: Finally, what are you expectations for Phillip island?
Worboys: Phillip Island is a track I love and have got some of my best results at. I don't like to set expectations on a race, but with how practice has been going and past results at the circuit, I hope to be in the mix.
As the Motorsport Australia Logitech G Pro Invitational Cup heads to Phillip Island on the 19th of April, keep an eye out for Blake Worboys as he takes on the best sim racers the country has to offer.
