The Copyworld Fastest Lap is one of the standout stats from every round—one perfect lap that captures outright pace, smooth teamwork and a trike that’s working beautifully. With three Adelaide University Pedal Prix Racing Championship seasons now completed on the West Pedal Prix Circuit, the table below shows how the fastest lap has evolved since the circuit debuted in 2023.
At a glance: West Pedal Prix Circuit – Copyworld Fastest Lap Outright
- 2023 (Round 2, The Bend 6 Hour): Platt Racing (Vehicle 30, PR22) – 2:51.1 (59.561kmh)
- 2024 (Round 2, The Bend 6 Hour): Wattle Racing (Vehicle 1, Gunyah) – 2:51.8 (59.315kmh)
- 2025 (Round 2, The Bend 6 Hour): Unhinged (Vehicle 75, Unhinged) – 3:01.3 (55.602kmh)
2023: Platt Racing sets the lap record in the circuit’s first championship year. In Round 2 of the 2023 The Bend 6 Hour, Platt Racing (Vehicle 30, PR22, Steele von Hoff ) stopped the clock at 2:51.1—a Copyworld Fastest Lap completed at an average of 59.561. The time not only earned the event’s fastest lap honours, it established the lap record from day one on the West Pedal Prix Circuit.
2024: Wattle Racing closes the gap. The following season, Wattle Racing (Vehicle 1, Gunyah, Reece Harris) claimed the Copyworld Fastest Lap in Round 2 with a 2:51.8 (just 0.7secs off the 2023 best) and an average speed of 59.315. It was a clear signal that the field had adapted to the circuit’s rhythm—but even with an outright win in 2024, the lap record remained in Platt Racing’s hands.
2025: New names, same target time. In 2025 Round 2, Unhinged (Vehicle 75, Unhinged, Aidan Lampe, wet track) recorded a Copyworld Fastest Lap of 3:01.3 at 55.602 average speed. While conditions and race context vary year to year, the three-season snapshot reinforces just how strong the 2023 benchmark was: the lap record set in the circuit’s debut championship season continues to define what a ‘perfect lap’ looks like at the West Pedal Prix Circuit.
For now, the headline number remains Platt Racing’s 2:51.1 from 2023—the lap record set in the very first championship season on this circuit. With another season ahead, there’s no doubt teams will be hunting clean traffic, the right moment, and a little bit of magic to bring that time down.
So the question heading into 2026 is simple: can anyone finally beat the mark when the Championship returns to Shell V-Power Motorsport Park for Round 2 on 23 May?
The stopwatch will be waiting—and so will Platt Racing’s 2023 record lap.
