Sydney 500 Race 2; Qualifying dramas turns into even more exciting racing.

It was the race we didn't expect. With a scattered top 10, from the shootout session such as Broc Feeney forced to start P9, after weather was causing dramas in the top ten shootout. Rain falling and the unpredictability caught some drivers out during that session.

For Anton De Pasquale however, the conditions were just perfect. He ensured he had a smooth run, that guarenteed a decent spot on the grid. He managed a 1:28.018, to secure the pole position for race 2. Brodie Kostecki was alongside De Pasquale in P2, and Matt Payne was P3.

The race itself was full of dramas, pit lane mishaps and even more. Ryan Wood struggled off the race start, dropping 3 positions from where he started. A tough start for both drivers out of Walkinshaw TWG Racing, only managing a P7 with Wood and P11 with champion Chaz Mostert, whos qualifying was interrupted by rain earlier in the day.

Another driver with a difficult day was Andre Heimgartner, who was forced to full his Toyota Supra over, this triggered a safety car. Amidst the chaos of the safety car, we saw pile ups in the pitlane, and loose tyres as well. Jayden Ojedas rear right wheel was not fully attached before he began to drive away.

Broc Feeney and James Golding also had a small collision on the pit exit, no major damage to either car, just a minor incident. After the restart as well, both drivers managed to overtake the struggling Supra of Ryan Wood. There was also plenty of bumping and fighting within the first couple laps of the restart, including Ryan Wood, Kai Allen, Broc Feeney and more.

Two drivers saw themselves recieving 15 second penalties. Thomas Randle recieved one for a breach of track limits, Broc Feeney received one for unsafe release and Will Brown also received one for a pitstop infringement. These penalties were all served during the second pitstops.

In the end, after all the drama and chaos of race 2, there could only be one winner and driving a near perfect race Anton De Pasquale managed his first win of the season. Brodie Kostecki managed to maintain his P2 and Matt Payne also maintained his P3.
