The atmosphere was electric as the Arise Racing GT team celebrated a fantastic day on the track. Team Principal Jordan Oon expressed immense satisfaction with the team’s performance, noting significant improvements since their last outing at Phillip Island.
“Yesterday was an amazing day. The team’s really happy with how everything went and all the improvements from Phillip Island,” said Oon. The team showcased their prowess in qualifying 1, securing 1st and 2nd positions, and continued their strong performance with 3rd and 5th places in qualifying 2.
Despite the heavy traffic on the track, the Arise Racing drivers skillfully navigated the challenges. “There’s a lot of traffic being assured of track, but I think our drivers made the most of it,” Oon commented. The team’s efforts were rewarded with 2nd and 3rd places in Race 1, securing valuable points and maintaining a competitive edge against their main rivals in the championship.
Oon acknowledged a bit of bad luck during the pit stop, which cost them the lead, but praised Chaz for an excellent recovery to finish in 2nd place. “A little bit unlucky in the pit stop to lose the lead, but there’s not much you can do, and I think Chaz salvaged 2nd place really, really well.”
Looking ahead, Oon expressed optimism for the upcoming race. With the weather expected to be warmer, both professional drivers, Chaz and Jackson, are set to start the race. “I’m looking forward to the race today. I think the conditions are going to be a little bit warmer. We’ve got both pros starting the car, Chaz and Jackson, and yeah, it should be really, really exciting.”
The Arise Racing GT team continues to demonstrate their skill and determination, and fans eagerly anticipate their next performance. Stay tuned for more updates and join us in supporting Arise Racing GT as they strive for championship glory.
