Summary

Congrats to Clay for his first podium of the year after missing at least 2 podiums earlier in the season through bad luck. With Brett overseas we had the chance to welcome back our 2021 Sprint Challenge winner Ryan Suhle. Despite being out of a race car for almost 2 years he was immediately on the pace and took a well deserved podium on his return.

Ayrton showed he is still on a steep learning curve and repaid everyone’s faith with a front row quali effort, leading his first race laps, and 4th for the round. Caleb had a tough weeekend after qualifying 7th which certainly cost him track position and the opportunity to challenge for the podium.

As usual, many thanks to the #AMRC (awesome MR crew) Luffy the supercoach and our drivers, their families and supporters for another successful weekend. Next up is Tasmania with the Supercars.
