This weekend marks round four of the 2017/18 season and following a championship changing previous round prior to Christmas, just 118 points sit between the top five in the championship and with 225 points on offer across three races this weekend, there is plenty to play for!
Speed and consistency were proving the winning formula for Championship leader Kaleb Ngatoa, marching to a 70 point lead heading into the last race of round prior. However, a steering failure which saw him lose control of his car and retire from the race shrunk his lead to just 16 points over second-placed Callum Crawley.
Following Ngatoa’s retirement Crawley was set to inherit the points lead until he spun out of the lead on the final corner, gifting a much-needed win to Reece Hendl-Cox following a disqualification in the previous race. The win moved the fourth place Hendl-Cox 97 points from the lead.
SpeedSport Scholarship driver Conrad Clark would eventuate as round winner though, picking up two fourths and a second place to bag the most points of the round and move to 118 points from Ngatoa and into fifth in the standings.
