⭐️Round 4 Results ⭐️
Round 4 saw the Circuit Excel Eseries return to the sprint format (2 races) at the historic Oran Park. Race 1 belonged to Queenslander, Benjamin Smith, as championship leader, Ethan Grigg-Gault had a disastrous round that resulted in him retiring from the event and not scoring any points. Smith and Grigg-Gault were battling for the lead early in the race when they made side to side contact at turn 1 that resulted in Grigg-Gault making heavy contact with the wall.
Further down the field, Jordan Ross tagged the rear of Dylan Birse which also sent him spearing into the wall.Championship contender, Aaron Oliver, was running a clean race in 8th before he and fellow South Australian, Jayden Wanzek, made light contact sending him wide and dropping Oliver back to 12th – this was a crucial moment for him to claw back some points on Grigg-Gault.
Highest placed South Australian, Jack Boyd, finished in 2nd with Jordan Ross in 3rd. Everyone started race 2 as they finished (no reverse grid).
Race 2 started with carnage at the rear of the field under the Oran Park Bridge! While some of our regular front-runners were getting caught up in racing incidents, some mid-fielders were running their own clean race including Chelsea Angelo who moved up 15 positions in the first 2 laps and Darren Whittington who started race 2 in 33rd and moved through the field up to 7th and eventually finished in 5th spot. Surviving some controversial moves and managing tyre wear, Jordan Ross eventuated as the race winner with the South Australian duo, Jack Boyd and Jayden Wanzek rounding out the podium. 50% of the top 10 was made up of South Australian competitors. 👏
