In the Australian Grand Prix, Tom Feeney showcased an impressive performance, securing pole position for the opening race despite starting second in the championship standings. However, Anton de Pasquale briefly led the race before Feeney swiftly regained the position.
As Feeney maintained his lead, competitors like Will Brown and Matt Payne advanced, capitalizing on cooler track conditions to preserve their tires. Payne, securing third place, benefited from a penalty imposed on Nick Percat for early-race contact.
Despite a late-race scare, Feeney clinched victory, setting the fastest lap and solidifying his championship lead. Brown and Payne expressed satisfaction with their performances, setting the stage for an exciting second race in the weekend’s lineup.
