Driving Chev V8-powered Saabs, Darren Hossack and Dean Randle headed home the second leg of the fourth round of the Reward Insurance Australian Touring Car Championship. The race saw the top ten finishers from race one start in reverse order and Hossack gained a great start to be leading by the end of the second lap.
Hossack maintained the lead ahead of the charging Tony Ricciardello who closed and offered a challenge on lap nine. The latter in his Alfa/Chev passed Hossack who struck back almost immediately, retaking the lead. The pair raced side-by-side to the final corner of the lap where a clash spun Ricciardello out.
Randle who led a great scrap for third involving the series leader Kerry Baily (Nissan/Chev) and New Zealands Bernie Gillon in his Tranzam Ford Mustang, was able to pick up second place. Equal second in the series before the weekend he pick up a lone point on the leader.
Whilst an exciting race, it was robbed of some of its spectacle with the withdrawal of John McIntyre. The winner of the first race found his New Zealand Tranzam Chev Corvette had holed a piston on the last lap.
Hossack's win also elevated him to the lead of the Trans Tasman Challenge, the series within a series that continues at Sandown in September and then to New Zealand for two rounds in October.
After failing to finish race one, Stinson (Holden Calibra/Chev) came home in fifth spot, ahead of early race leader Rodney Woods (Holden Commodore/Chev), Stephen Vines in his V8 Ford Cortina, Graham Smith's Calibra/Fiat Turbo and the Calibra/Chev of Ray Ayton.
