Erebus Academy drivers Jobe Stewart and Jarrod Hughes claimed 12^th and 7^th respectively in Race 1 at Perth for Round 2 of the Dunlop Super2 Championship.

The sun was shining for the first qualifying session, with Jarrod securing 6^th on the grid and Jobe 17^th.

An unfortunate start saw both drivers drop down to 9^th and 19^th at the completion of the opening lap. Jobe quickly fought back to regain multiple positions finding himself back up into 14^th.

Despite the start Jarrod remained in the top 10, moving to 8^th throughout the opening laps.

At the half-way mark, Jobe made a great move past Cleary to gain another position.

The Safety Car was brought out with twelve and half minutes to go out after a collision at turn 1. When the green flag dropped again, both drivers defended well into the first corner to maintain their positions.

Car 55 wasn’t so lucky, enabling Jobe to move up into 12^th positon.

Jarrod and Jobe continued their pace, completing the race in 7^th and 12^th.

The academy drivers now look ahead to the tomorrow for the final day of racing here in Perth.
