Tigani Sweeps The Bend To Put Ojeda and Lucchitti Two Points Off Lead

The GT World Challenge Australia title fight tightens before Queensland Raceway in June.

Overview

  • Jayden Ojeda and Paul Lucchitti won Sunday's one-hour race at The Bend by just over half a second.
  • The win made them the season's first repeat winners and cut their deficit to the Team MPC Audi leaders to two points.
  • On Saturday, Sergio Pires and Brendon Leitch turned pole into victory in the No. 44 Mercedes-AMG after Brad Schumacher slid off and lost places early.
  • Pit-stop timing and a 15-second success penalty for Saturday's winners reshaped Sunday’s order, putting Brad Schumacher second and Mark Rosser third.
  • Matthew Stoupas and Paul Stockell swept the Trophy class for older cars, and the series returns at Queensland Raceway on June 12–14.
