Superstock Race 2

  • 0955 - Andrews now enjoys a 50 point lead over Trounson who in turn has 34 points over Quinn with one more race to go for the weekend and then of course another three at Eastern Creek next month in the finale
  • 0953 - Carr down to 29.3 on the penultimate lap and all over Houwen.....  Carr through and he is going to get the podium....  Andrews takes the win by 1.2 seconds over Trounson, Carr a great third place, Houwen fourth, Yates fifth by a coat of paint over McConnell then Parry home in seventh followed by Higgins, Bonthorne, Corcoran, Cowie, Riddle
  • 0952 - Lapped traffic now... This could give Trounson a sniff if Andrews gets baulked...
  • 0951 - Brayden Carr dips into the 29s, a 29.5 to close on Houwen....  There could be a battle over third after all in these closing laps...
  • 0950 - Trounson made a tiny mistake on lap six to lose half a second on Andrews.... Might be too hard to regain that ground again but he has already done it once in this race but getting there is a lot easier than getting past!
  • 0949 - The boys not going quite as quick as yesterday but still both down to 28.6 on lap five, nobody else has got under 30, this pair the class of the field
  • 0948 - The leading duo have more than 5 seconds on Houwen now who in turn has nearly five seconds on fourth placed Carr who is then followed by Yates, McConnell, Parry and Higgins
  • 0947 - Trounson right on Andrews now, the battle is on!
  • 0946 - Andrews and Trounson both in the 28s on lap three, half a second between between them but Trounson a fraction quicker than leader Andrews on that lap.  Sciberras having some problems this morning, again running out of road this morning
  • 0945 - Andrews down to a 1m29.00 on the second lap, Trounson with a 29.12, Houwen can't match their pace with his 30.2 but he is a second quicker than the next best on that lap
  • 0943 - Andrews inching away from Trounson in their Suzuki versus Honda battle while Queenslander Josh Houwen tries to go with them as they pull away from Yates, Carr and McConnell
  • 0942 - Houwen, Andrews and Trounson all got away well in the second Superstock race but Quinn in fourth went down at turn three but was back up in quick fashion to try and salvage some points
