Unedited race notes from our live reporting page

  • 1734 - Waters set the fastest lap of the race on the last lap with a 1m37.67 if the timers are to be believed... half a second faster than the rest of the field?  That must have been one hell of a last lap from the Mildura youngster
  • 1732 - Onto the straight they come and Brookes pulls out of the slipstream to visually get the win and the timers give it to him also... By a single thousandth of a second!!! So that is Brookes a perfect 3 from 3 thus far this weekend, Aitchison gets 2nd in that one, Staring 3rd, Fergusson 4th, Waters 5th, Seaton 6th, McMartin 7th, Clarke 8th, O'Halloran 9th, Crowe 10th.  WHAT A RACE !!!
  • 1731 - Aitchison under Brookes again at turn four, Brookes alongside a Siberia but on the wrong side, Aitchison hangs on through the Hayshed and leads across Lukey...
  • 1730 - They run down the main straight to get the last lap board virtually nose to tail with Brookes the nose, Aitchison and Staring the guts and Fergusson the tail at this stages of the game...  Anything could happen from here...
  • 1728 - Brookes back in the lead now, Staring right on Aitchison...
  • 1727 - Aitchison underneath Brookes in turn four to hit the front again, Brookes staying with him, Staring and Fergusson not out of it either...
  • 1726 - New fastest lap of the race this time it is Josh Brookes 1m37.91 and on the next lap he takes the lead while Staring gets third place from Krusty... 3 laps to run...
  • 1725 - Both the Joe Rocket Honda men through on Staring now to push the teenager back to 4th while they get out after Aitchison...
  • 1724 - Staring gets Aitchison into turn one with 5 laps to run to take the race lead and hangs on to it, Aitchison pulls alongside and the under at the Hayshed forcing Staring out wide to take the lead back so Aitchison back in front and Brookes all over the back of Staring now while Krusty watches on in 4th...
  • 1723 - Staring set a new fastest lap of the race on that last time around the 4.4km Phillip Island circuit with a 1m38.1
  • 1722 - Staring all over the back of Aitchison as Brookes and Fergusson battle over 3rd place. Running 5th and 6th and not out of the game either are two Kawasaki men, Waters and Seaton.
  • 1721 - Staring through on the Joe Rocket Honda men and taking his turn at attacking Aitchison for the lead...
  • 1719 - Supersport away for their second and final race of the day and this time Brookes gets away in front while Aitchison and Fergusson do battle, and I mean battle, over second place, Staring 4th and not wanting to get in the middle of that melee. Aitchison to the lead on the latter stages of lap one and crosses the stripe ahead of Brookes, Staring and Fergusson with the top four covered by less than half a second.
