ROUND 1 IS RUN AND DONE!
Apr 22nd
After a weekend of changing weather and crazy action, Round 1 of the Just Car Insurance Australian Drifting Grand Prix is run, won and done. Luke Fink in the Holford Motors Nissan S14 Silvia continued his winning ways and took the win in an epic battle against Rob Whyte in the Monster Energy Drink 350Z while local driver Ben Purtell in the GT Garage 180SX rounded out the Podium.
Luke Fink didn’t have it easy though. He needed to pull of a crazy run to take the number 1 qualifying spot over Rob Whyte, which he did by 0.7 of a point, and then had car troubles on Sunday including a faulty map sensor and a broken selector fork. The Holfords team did what they could and Luke drove hard to make it through. He got a free pass in the Top-4 after Denzo had to pull out due to damaged brakes making it too dangerous to continue. Rob Whyte set the fastest qualifying speed and continued his fast driving throughout the battles. Ben Purtell qualified fourth but had a rough start to the day going two re-runs against Harry Hopes and having to fix a fuel pump at lunch time. An interesting note is that the top 4 qualifiers finished in the same spot overall.
Now we look to Round 2 of the 2012 Just Car Insurance Australian Drifting Grand Prix at the Calder Park Thunderdome. The full results list for Round 1 is below.
ADGP ROUND 1 QUALIFYING RESULTS
Apr 21st
Qualifying for Round 1 of the Just Car Insurance Australian Drifting Grand Prix has now been finalised and Luke Fink has taken the number one spot. Rob Whyte in the Monster Energy Drink 350Z was in the lead after his first run so the Holfords Team had to pull out all the stops with one of the wildest entries imaginable to take the number one spot by the narrowest of margins. The judges commented that Rob Whyte’s run had better line and speed but Luke’s angle and overall impact just gave him the edge. Check out the scores and see what we mean by just! The top two finishers in the Privateer class were given the number 31 and 32 spot in Pro Class for tomorrow which will mix things up even more. Sunday is set to be an exciting day of tandem battle action!
