SuperLap Australia
Oran Park Raceway 5.07.08
The picturesque Oran Park Raceway played the host to the inaugural round of the SuperLap Australia on Saturday.
A perfect winter day welcomed over two thousand spectators and a massive field of sixty five Australia’s fastest import track cars.
Fierce competition in both Clubsprint and Open classes provided plenty of non-stop action making the SuperLap a perfect spectators’ event.
John Boston in a turbo-charged Honda S2000 dominated the Clubsprint Class, with Brett Middleton and Gerard Manion both in Mitsubishi EVO 9s, in 2nd and 3rd places respectively. Boston also won out the hotly contested Clubsprint Best of the Best Shootout.
In the open class, Peter Lucas in a Lotus Elise and Mark Berry in the Hi-Octane Racing R32 GTR battled it out for the SuperLap supremacy, with Peter Lucas the eventual winner. Garth Walden in Bel Garage EVO 9 won the Open Class Best of the Best shootout.
With a great turnout and close racing, the inaugural SuperLap has set a new standard for Australian time-attack events.
“It’s only going to get bigger and better,” said Ian Baker, the organiser of the event, “the timing could not have been more perfect – Australia has been waiting for this type of event for a long time!”
