Habul Dominates Final AGT Race at Albert Park
19th March, 2019Kenny Habul has eased to his second Australian GT win of the weekend in the final race for the series in Albert Park.
Habul started from pole and led from start to finish, resisting a brief challenge from Max Twigg with Peter Hackett making for a Mercedes-AMG one-two-three.
Fraser Ross was a non-starter when the second placed McLaren failed to pull away from the grid, seemingly stuck in gear.
It forced the start to be delayed as the stricken car was cleared from the grid, the field trundling through pit lane as a dejected Ross watched on from the pit wall.
A single file restart resulted, Habul leading Twigg into the first corner from Geoff Emery and Hackett as Ryan How came under the attentions of Tony Bates into Turn 3.
Twigg and Habul briefly squabbled before the SunEnergy1 driver slipped off the front, extending a more than eight second advantage by the flag.
Hackett found a way through on Emery to take third, while a battle between Bates, How, and Lee Partridge finished in that order following a near race-long battle for fifth.
Round 2 supports the Pirtek Perth SuperNight on May 2-4.
