A pair of New Beith brothers have not let the COVID-19 lockdown affect their racing, they have just taken it online.
Hayden and Jordan Sell have raced against professional drivers like Bathurst 1000 champion Chaz Mostert in an e-series conducted for members of their Ipswich and Warwick cart clubs.
More than 30 drivers have raced, including Mostert and Dunlop Super 2 speedster Broc Feeney.
The youngsters are holding their own. Hayden, 13, finished inside the top 10 for three races in the series, on his way to fourth place overall.
"Hayden and Jordan were going to take turnabout in the series, but when Hayden finished inside the top 10 in round one, Jordan kindly stepped aside to let Hayden finish the series," the boys' mother Erin Sell said.
The series consisted of practice twice a week, with racing on Saturdays, on a simulator worth thousands of dollars.
It helps their training, with feedback through the steering wheel imitating what they would feel in a real car.
The racing has benefited the brothers, who have autism, during their isolation.
'"The kids can host their own races and practice sessions with their karting friends so they can chat through the headsets and go racing with their mates," Mrs Sell said.
When they get back to real racing, it will continue to do wonders to their conditions.
"Racing has been great for their social skills," Mrs Sell said.
"It is much easier to be social when there are so any people with shared interests in the same place.
"They have had to talk to sponsors and they are brand ambassadors for MotiV8 Training, who encourage them to do PR activities.
"It is tricky but they love racing so it helps them to push through the tricky parts."
They will not race again until at least August, leaving the boys with more time on the simulator, and to dream about their careers.
"Hayden would love to run a pit crew and Jordan has his eyes set on being a race engineer," Mrs Sell said.
"Maths and science are definitely one of their talents and they love working out how and why their kart does what it does."
Driving for Ford Performance Racing, Mostert won Bathurst with co-driver Paul Morris in 2014.
He broke a leg and wrist in a crash while qualifying the next year, in an incident which injured seven officials.
He finished fourth in 2018 with the Tickford Racing team and partnering James Moffat.
