Thrilling Wet Weekend of Racing at the Bend 

The Bend Motorsport Park in Tailem Bend, South Australia 

In a race plagued by heavy rain, Chaz Mostert and Fabian Coulthard prevailed to take victory after starting the race from outside the top ten. The inclement weather necessitated multiple safety cars and as the race went on, the drying track forced teams to gamble with tyre changes. Walkinshaw TWG Racing anticipated this correctly and along with Mostert and Coulthard claiming victory, the sister car of Ryan Wood and Jaxon Evans rounded out the podium in third place. This marked Evans' first Supercars podium in his career. Second place was claimed by Kai Allen and Tim Slade, who led a sizeable portion of the race early on.

The race was scheduled to 147 laps at a distance of 500 kilometers. However, due to the slow nature of the race as well as the intervention of multiple safety cars, the race would be deemed time-certain and would finish at 141 laps at a distance of 480 kilometers. Both Blanchard Racing Team entrants were disqualified after failing to meet the minimum required drive time for James Golding and Aaron Cameron respectively.

Now its onto Bathurst!
