RACE ONE
Nick Percat and Brad Lowe got off to a
clean start with Percat slotting in ahead of Lowe. Lucas
Dumbrell found trouble on turn two, driving his Mygale
up the back and over the top of Rob Storey, causing
Dumbrell to flip and putting both competitors out of the
race.
"I came in too hard and too hot and
couldn't pull up. It's disappointing in the first race
of the season. We were 15th in practice, we struggled a
bit in qualifying but we started this race in 10th and
moved up a few places on the start," Lucas Dumbrell
said.
"Blowing out on turn two of the first lap
isn't the best start to the season."
Lowe and Laskazeski finished in a one-two
respectively with Ben Morely shadowing them in his newly
purchased Spectrum.
"We're racing today with a brand new car.
We only took ownership of it two weeks ago, so my time
in it has been limited," Morely said.
"Really we've been doing all of our
testing in practice and qualifying, but I got an awesome
start, just launched off the line and kept going from
there."
Chaz Mostert and Ben Walter both found
trouble, neither finishing the 10-lap race.
