It was a moment of triumph followed by heartbreak for George Dodworth at TX2K25, as he shattered his own GTR Unlimited world record during Q4 of the event. However, the celebration was short-lived after a fire erupted once Dodworth pulled off the track, sidelining his car for the rest of the weekend.
A New Benchmark in GTR Unlimited
Dodworth, a well-known name in the high-performance GTR racing scene, entered TX2K25 aiming to push the limits once again. During Q4 qualifying, he delivered an earth-shattering run, breaking his own previously held world record. Fans erupted in cheers as he clocked a time that cemented his dominance in the GTR Unlimited class.
While official numbers are still being confirmed, this milestone reaffirms Dodworth’s position at the top of the game. His car, a meticulously tuned R35 Nissan GT-R, has been an absolute monster on the track, continuously pushing the envelope of what’s possible in modern drag racing.
A Fiery Turn of Events
Unfortunately, the celebration didn’t last long. Shortly after Dodworth completed his record-breaking pass and pulled off the track, a fire broke out in his car. While the exact cause is still under investigation, initial reports suggest it may have been related to fuel or mechanical stress from the high-powered run.
Track officials and safety crews responded swiftly, ensuring that Dodworth was safe and the flames were controlled. However, the damage to the car was significant enough to end his weekend prematurely.
A Tough End, But an Unforgettable Moment
Though his car won’t return to the track for the remainder of TX2K25, Dodworth’s record-breaking performance will be one of the defining highlights of the event. Breaking a world record is no small feat, and doing it under the pressure of TX2K25’s elite competition makes it even more impressive.
Fans and fellow competitors have already begun showing their support for Dodworth, knowing he will likely return even stronger in the future. While his weekend ended in disappointment, his unmatched performance in GTR Unlimited will be remembered for years to come.
What’s Next for Dodworth?
With this new record in the books, all eyes will be on Dodworth’s next move. Whether it’s rebuilding for the next big event or making even more extreme modifications to his GTR, one thing is certain—this isn’t the last we’ll hear from him.
For now, TX2K25 continues with plenty of action, but Dodworth’s explosive performance (both figuratively and literally) will be talked about long after the event is over.
