Australian Formula Ford’s youngest competitor, 15 year old New Zealander Mitch Evans, continued his recent winning form taking another race win during round six of the Australian Formula Ford Championship at Queensland Raceway.

Evans’ Banklink backed Mygale, stormed off the start line and was only serious challenged once for the lead by his Sonic Racing teammate Nick Percat. Evans kept a cool head and drove to a commanding lead, crossing the finish line nearly a full second ahead of Percat.

“I could get used to this winning feeling,” Evans said.

“I was lacking some grip this morning so to maintain my lead was a little harder than yesterday,” he added.

“We’ll make a few changes before the final race but I’m hoping we can make it another Sonic one, two, three … the car’s still got plenty in it so I’m confident I can use my pole position to advantage again.”

Sonic Racing made it another trifecta for both the team and chassis manufacturer Mygale, with championship leader Percat coming home in second place the much improved Geoff Uhrhane finishing in third.

CAMS Rising Star Scott Pye reversed his poor fortune from yesterday’s opening race to come home in fourth in his Spectrum after starting back in ninth place, with Minda Motorsport’s Ben Walter rounding out the top five.

“That was a much better result … the car’s showing some speed again which is promising,” Pye said.

“Now the challenge is to get a good start and get past Nick (Percat) so I can hang on to Mitch – if not have a crack at the lead.”

Synergy Motorsport’s Chaz Mostert had a forgetful race, losing two places in the opening laps, and then was given a drive-through penalty for an altercation with Parramatta Smash Repairs’ Ryan Simpson. Mostert will start race three from 17th. Mostert will be one to watch in race three if his performance at Sandown (where he raced from dead last to second) is anything to go by.

Bad luck also paid young Victorian Luke Ellery a visit after a promising race one performance. Ellery was in 7th place before being turned around by Minda Motorsport’s Jesse Dixon. Ellery’s damage from the tangle was terminal, prematurely ending his race on lap seven.

Local Master Electricians racer Andre Borell continued his good form this weekend with a much improved 11th place.
