Inter-house rivalry was less productive for some during an exciting virtual trip to Frensham Pond for some team racing, but it work out well for Richard and Alex Harrison, who teamed up with Will Carroll to finish 3rd.

The Warrens - Alex and William, finally managed to emulate the Harrison family with a lockout at the top of the podium in the last race but the leaders are consistently Richard with Reuben Hudson in second and Megan Pascoe in third in series 1. Richard, followed by Will and Megan in series 2.
