Round 2 at the Shell V-Power Motorsport Park

Race 1

AGI Sport’s James ‘Jimmy’ Piszcyk took victory in Race 1, ahead of JAM Motorsport’s Blake Purdie, and AGI Sport teammate Nicolas Stati.

The top three held position for the entire race, which also saw Purdie break the lap record in the dying minutes of the race. The local South Australian also won the first round of Formula 4 in the USA between rounds.

Behind the lead pack, JAM Motorsport’s Sebastien Amadio passed teammate JP Drake to move into the top five in the opening laps of the race. Amadio was close to Rookie Cup eventual winner, Seth Gilmore, and was able to gain another position when the latter had a small off and moved into fourth. Gilmore recovered, and despite having to dodge a very slow-moving car in the final corner, was able to finish in the top five and top of his class. 

AGI Sport’s Imogen Radburn had an impressive debut, which saw her start in eighth, and overtake Nathan Gotch and JP Drake, to end the race in sixth.   

It was a close battle in the Master Class between Drake and Gotch, with the pair side-by-side to the final minutes of the race, with the former taking line honours ahead of Gotch and Mark Wilson, who finished third in Class and tenth overall, behind rookie, Jayden Hamilton, who finished ninth for Tim Macrow Racing on debut.
