00:00From 5th in qualifying to 3rd in the shootout.
00:04We'll start from pole position alongside Jason Leafding.
00:08Then we go back to Brenton Ramsey and Les Crampton.
00:12Gary Haywood and Akihiro Asai from Japan out of 6.
00:16Chas Jacobson and Brian Sampson out of 8.
00:19And Chas Talbot starting from position number 9.
00:22Now those positions also were based off yesterday's race.
01:00Just looked like he overcooked and outbraked himself.
01:02Someone spun. That is Osborne.
01:04Well, Ramsey was very, very lucky to get away with that.
01:07He was coming flying up the inside, trying a big braking manoeuvre.
01:10Didn't quite get away from it.
01:12There's our pole position man, Osborne.
01:14Here's a replay, the HSV replay of the start.
01:17Contact. Big contact as Ramsey came through.
01:21So, let's hope there's the replay from the rear.
01:25So it was Ramsey just coming running up the inside.
01:28Just clipped the back of Osborne. He'll be pretty furious about that, I'd say.
01:31Here's Akihiro Asai, though, on the move forward.
01:33Considering that he started back in 6th position, he's done very well from the jump.
01:37To work his way up into 2nd position.
01:39Oh! Gets all out of shock jumping the ripple strip.
01:42Managed to hang onto it as they join around.
01:44They come onto the back straight.
01:45There's a good shot there to show the distance between our race leader, Jason Leafding.
01:49Back to Akihiro Asai.
01:50Then we pick up, it looks like, Les Crampton in 3rd spot.
01:53Fired by Gary Haywood.
01:56Akihiro, just 22 years of age.
01:59Arrives in Australia with an impressive Japanese racing career behind him.
02:03Including a number of domestic karting championships.
02:05And it's great to see we've had a number of international drivers joining the Formula Halton race this year.
02:12Gary Haywood in 4th position.
02:15The 26 machine, the 27-year-old Victorian.
02:18Debuting as Open Wheeler this year.
02:22This year, he's Open Wheeler Korea.
02:25He's done reasonably well in Season 98.
02:27He's currently sitting in 4th position behind Les Crampton.
02:30We work our way up.
02:31Asai still sitting in 2nd and Leafding.
02:33The Kiwi doing well out in front.
02:35Well, that's pretty good for the Kiwis because they also took out this year's championship.
02:42Scott Dixon, a very talented young driver.
02:48Here he is, our race leader, Jason Leafding.
02:51And there he is.
02:52You shall see Leafding, Asai, Crampton, Haywood.
02:54That hasn't changed for a number of laps now.
02:56This guy out in front is doing really well.
02:58Made his debut at Sandown yesterday.
03:00So this is his second race on the circuit.
03:02Courtesy of the Owen Osborne spitter, turn 1.
03:05After contact with Brendan Ramsey.
03:07He inherited the lead and hasn't looked back.
03:11Let's have a look at Akihiro on the HSV replay.
03:15He just touched the outside of the circuit there under brakes for Falcon XR Corner.
03:19And he managed to gather it up and maintain 2nd position.
03:21We have got one more lap left to run.
03:24The Formula Holland race here in the Tickford 500.
03:26And there is the gap.
03:27It's almost the length of the main straight.
03:29Have a look at this young Kiwi go.
03:31Yeah.
03:32We don't really need the stopwatch.
03:33It's daylight second, isn't it?
03:3511.9 on his 12 seconds.
03:36The gap he's just been building in every lap.
03:39Consistently.
03:41It's just another 1 minute 10.
03:43No one else has touched him.
03:441 minute 10.09.
03:46Fastest lap of the day.
03:49Full lifting.
03:50And he's built it right out.
03:5112 second lead.
03:52Here's our man in 2nd position.
03:54Japanese driver Akihiro Asai.
03:58With Les Crampton still sitting in 3rd position.
04:00Filled really strong out.
04:02Over the long 3.1km sand down layer.
04:07I'll tell you what he's doing.
04:08Doing a good job.
04:09We were just pretty impressed with that 1.10.
04:11I'll tell you what.
04:12He's still a fair way off the lap record.
04:13Which has stood for 8 years.
04:15Set by Simon Cain.
04:17And a 1.09.2.
04:19That is blisteringly quick around this sand out circuit.
04:23But it's all over.
04:24And well done to Jason Leifting.
04:26He takes out the win here in the Formula Holden race.
04:28At the Tickford 500.
04:30Here's our 2nd place.
04:33Akihiro Asai.
04:34He'll be wrapped with that.
04:36Well let's check the final placings for the Formula Holdens.
04:39Here at the Tickford 500.
04:41Jason Leifting.
04:42A great win for the young Kiwi driver.
04:44Akihiro Asai in for 2nd.
04:45Les Crampton 3rd.
04:46Chas Jacobson in for 4th.
04:47He had a good battle with Gary Haywood.
04:50Back in 6th.
04:51It was Peters.
04:52We go back to Talbot.
04:53Sampson.
04:54Osborne worked his way up into the 9th.
04:55And of course Brenton Ramsey didn't complete the race.
04:57But he finished 10th.
05:16And that's it for today.
