Porsche Michelin Sprint Challenge
Kobi Williams was cruelly denied another Jim Richards Endurance Championship victory and a comfortable series lead in the Sydney finale for Porsche Michelin Sprint Challenge.
Williams was 20-seconds in front beginning the final lap before a tyre delaminated leaving the Tyler Greenbury Racing driver to finish fifth.
This led to a Sonic Motor Racing Services 1-2, with Xavier Avramides taking the win ahead of Hayden Haikal.
Ryan Suhle completed the podium ahead of Daniel Quimby and Williams.
In the earlier race, TekworkX Motorsport’s Lincoln Taylor was a clear winner from Williams and Haikal.

Wickham is $4000 richer after clean-sweeping the Ford Insure Pole Position Awards and taking the Driving Solutions prize for achieving the feat; he led the second event of the weekend early.
Anderson made his move at the halfway point of the race and overtook Wickham to take his fourth win of the season.
Wickham finishing second capped off a solid weekend for the young gun, while Patrick Tappett completed the podium on debut after Joe Fawcett lost third gear during the closing stages.

Ferrari Challenge Australasia
Champions were crowned as Ferrari Challenge Australasia concluded its second season in thrilling circumstances.
Enzo Cheng won the Trofeo Pirelli class on a countback after scoring second in Race 2 to finish level on points with fourth-placed Jim Pollicina. Cheng’s two race wins bettered Pollicina’s sole victory to deliver the Trofeo Pirelli crown.\
Cheng was defeated in the final race of the season by Steve Wyatt, who overtook Cheng during the final laps to take his second win of 2026. Damian Hamilton completed the podium to end the year in impressive fashion.
Masahiro Taguchi’s redemption wasn’t enough to take the Coppa Shell title, as his DNF in Race 1 proved costly. David Trewern finished second to take home the crown, while Aemel Nordin was third.
The Cheng family had two reasons to celebrate at the end of Race 2, with Enzo securing the title and brother Andrei taking the Trofeo Pirelli 488 class ahead of Greg Symons and Tim Howes.
