In a 14-lap race that featured plenty of hand-to-hand combat, Matt Stone Racing's Percat held off a double dose of Red Bull opposition, with Will Brown taking second place ahead of Broc Feeney.
The telling moment of the race came on lap 4, when second-placed Chaz Mostert (WAU Ford Mustang) was looking to challenging Matt Payne for the lead. Mostert locked a brake at Turn 10 and nerfed the rear of the Grove Racing Ford, sending both cars off the road and gifting the lead to a surprised Percat. Payne recovered in third place and for his sins, Mostert had to carry on with a five-second time penalty.
