The second round of the Rotax Pro Tour (Australian Rotax MAX Challenge Series) was held at Geelong, Victoria, across the weekend. The meeting also crowned blue plates for the Victorian State Rotax Champions in each class.
A number of local Victorian drivers contested this round as it was in their home state, however the majority of entrants came from interstate, and the numbers were down a little on the opening round in Canberra.
A couple of local Geelong racers fared well, Austin McPherson taking the win in Micro MAX and Daniel Richert third in Rotax Heavy.
BRP-Rotax’s Darrell Smith and Rotax Grand Finals TV host Jen Wade were both at the meeting, enjoying a quick visit home to Australia (their first in several years) before heading back to Europe and the opening Euro round in France.
Next round is at Ipswich on June 16-19 where a series of random-grid (ie, no qualifying session) heat races will be run in daytime and at night.
