Nick Foster came out on top in the opening race of round five of the Australian Formula Ford Championship at Sandown Raceway. The Mygale driver had to work hard to fend off the advances of Sonic Motor Racing Services team mates Cameron Waters and Gary Jacobson, as well as Synergy Motorsport's Liam Sager. The victory follows on from race wins at the previous two championship rounds at Eastern Creek and Queensland Raceway. "After the restart (for a mid-race safety car), I put my head down and was able to make a gap," Foster said. "I feel that I do my best driving out in front, so I felt pretty comfortable towards the finish. "Hopefully the weather holds off again for tomorrow's races."

Incredibly, the six hour long marathon went caution free, with the lack of a safety car intervention allowing the winning duo to walk away from the field. “It was a great day start to finish,” Warren Luff said.

Phillip Island VIC: Young New Zealand sensation Mitch Evans continued his domination of the Formula 3 Australian Drivers Championship at Phillip Island. Evans started from pole for Saturday's ten lap sprint but was beaten off the line by Sydney driver Tom Tweedie, in an older National class chassis. However Tweedie's moment of glory was fleeting as Evan's retook the lead on lap two and from then on was never headed.
