Zac Soutar launched his tilt at the championship in Race 3, taking the race lead from Callum Hedge at turn two during the opening lap. Hedge’s day went from bad to worse as contact with Tom Sargent at turn six meant a penalty and DNF for Hedge. Soutar consolidated his lead and crossed the line more than 2 seconds ahead of Angelo Mouzouris and Lachlan Mineeff.



Soutar was very happy with the result from the weekend:

To grab a race and a round win and closing on the championship lead, it’s a weekend you dream of. I’m really looking forward to the next round at Winton.

Sargent reset after the race 3 collision and drove back through the field to an eighth-place finish, which garnered him just enough points to hold the championship lead for the second round in a row.

The 2019 Australian Formula Ford Championship will resume May 24-26 at Winton Motor Raceway in support of the Supercars Championship.
