HARRI JONES delivered again to extend his Porsche Paynter Dixon Carrera Cup Australia lead further in the Enduro Cup race on Sunday morning at Queensland Raceway, in a race filled with personal-best performances throughout the field. 

Jones’ performance was a near carbon-copy of his race one win as he got the jump into turn one and pulled away from the field from there.

It extends to 34 points his championship lead ahead of the final race this weekend, while Jones’ also now takes a clear lead in the Enduro Cup points standings having entered the round equal on points with Dylan O’Keeffe.

Behind him, though, were several season-best performances that stood out among the racy 22-car grid.

Dale Wood finished runner up, his best race finish and first in the top three of the season so far aboard his Connected Spaces / EBM entry.

Marcus Amand finished third for TekworkX in a starring performance that saw the teenage Finn charge through the top-10 runners in the early laps, picking his way through the intense battle from fifth back to elevate himself into the five by the second lap.

He dispatched Hamish Fitzsimons for fourth position on the eighth lap and then eased past teammate David Russell for third five laps later.

With Wood in front and Russell behind, the three ran at a hard pace for the remainder of the race without changing positions.

Angelo Mouzouris finished a strong fifth on his 24th birthday, another season-best performance and the best from the #999 Sonic car of the season so far. The same could be said for Fitzsimmons, who ran fourth early before slipping back behind Amand and Mouzouris before consolidating his best ever Carrera Cup performance in sixth; a strong rebound from a challenging Saturday.

A quiet performance from Dylan O’Keeffe saw him finish seventh with Clay Osborne Eighth, Bayley Hall ninth and Caleb Sumich 10th.

In Pro-Am Sam Shahin mirrored Jones’ Pro performance to claim a comfortable victory; getting the best of the starts and easing away from the field to claim his second win of the weekend.

Matt Belford rebounded from a Saturday non-finish to finish second, importantly taking championship points away from class leader Rodney Jane who finished a lap behind following a trip into the turn three gravel early in the race – one that saw the Safety Car briefly called early in the race. Brett Boulton finished third after rebounding from an early spin.
