Veterans Rob Leonard and Russell Wright finished in the top five, from Andrew Miedecke and Hugh McAlister in the McAlister Motors Mustang.

Jordan Cox won provisional in this morning’s first 12 lap sprint for co-drivers, after passing Tim Brook in the CXC Mustang he’s sharing with Dylan Thomas into Turn One, with Carrera Cup star Max Vidau 3^rd.

“Word’s can’t even describe how I feel, I can't believe the sheer luck we have had. For us to have started 17th for race 3 and finish second, is amazing and I am lost for words. Sometimes the key to this category is to just keep it straight , clean and not make any errors. Dad and I can’t be any happier with second place.”
