Feeney and Schumacher Win at Hidden Valley to Reclaim GTWC Australia Lead

A 15‑second success penalty and repeated first‑corner incidents reshaped race finishing positions and the title fight before the penultimate round.

Overview

  • Broc Feeney and Brad Schumacher won the second GT World Challenge Australia race at Hidden Valley to move back into the championship lead.
  • Alex Peroni and Mark Rosser took the opening race victory, but their 15‑second success penalty for that win dropped them down the Race 2 order and affected their title standing.
  • Both GTWC races featured significant Turn 1 collisions that produced retirements, damaged cars and at least one post‑race investigation into a podium position.
  • Josh Buchan earned his first GTWC pole in qualifying, while the GT4 field saw Jensen Shearer score his first pole and rookies William Exton and Jack Johnson claim a maiden GT4 race win.
  • The series now heads to the penultimate round at Sydney Motorsport Park with Hidden Valley investigations pending and championship momentum altered by penalties and opening‑lap dynamics.
