The second day of racing presented its fair share of challenges for Academy drivers Jarrod Hughes and Jobe Stewart, who finished 10^th and 22^nd respectively.

A sunny qualifying session saw Jarrod secure 3^rd on the grid and Jobe 15^th.

Jarrod’s Race 2 start saw him drop down into 6^th into first corner, with Jobe battling surrounding cars to remain in position.

Jobe found himself tangled in a multi-car crash just moments later, causing significant damage to the front of the car. With several cars stationary at Turn 3, Jobe managed to continue up into 11^th place, with Jarrod losing position ahead dropping into 8^th at the completion of Lap 1.

A five second drive through penalty saw Jobe drop to 21^st shortly after.

With 26 minutes to go Jobe was passed, moving him into 23^rd before Chahda retired moving him back into 22^nd. Jarrod battled Sinni and Dalton before getting caught out dropping into 9^th with Vidau right behind.

Jarrod and Jobe fought hard to maintain position for the remainder of the race before Jarrod was passed by Vidau with 2 minutes to go.

Both Academy drivers remain in the Top 10 of the championship with Jarrod in 5^th and Jobe in 8^th.
