SRO at Phillip Island showed that Australian racing simply rules

There’s just nobody who does it like the Aussies. It’s no longer surprising to see any given Australian road racing series put on door-to-door nail-biters; what impresses me now is seeing what kinds of crazy mixtures of series promoters can pull together.

This weekend’s Phillip Island SRO opener had all the usual SRO sports car classes driven by a mix of extremely eager aspirants and Supercars drivers, but to me what stole the show was the debut of Mustang Cup Australia (which also featured several Supercars drivers). I challenge anyone to come up with a more dramatic first-ever race of a new championship than this one:

This is Cameron passing Golding for the win, +0.006

Seeing that ending does not spoil it, of course, because it was a coin flip. Watch the whole thing.
