Australian Turbo Touring Car IRacing Series Round 5 headed to Brands Hatch, a great little layout for the TCR Audi's. Race 1 and it was close tight racing all night and battles galore. Rhys was at in again, his aim - "I wanted to stick with the top guys". Rhys was finding it hard to find a way past Michael Yip. A pressure mistake and he went off. Gained a position, P7 at the end, but not without a few dings and scary moments.
Race 2, and Rhys has a massive off on the opening lap, decided to pull out the strategy card and take his pit stop right away. Knowing that keeping it as consistent as possible, was going to be the best outcome, a few little mistakes crept in and lost unnecessary time. others were having issues too and there were incidents up front putting some of the usual competitors out of the running. Finished P5…Outstanding result considering and not without having to defend HARD from Tim Gaukroger and Martin Turner to the end.
Rhys currently sits 3rd in the Championship only 65 points from 1st place
1st Cooper Webster 495
2nd Ryan Jerrick 480
3rd Rhys Gardiner 430
