Jones takes another as three-wide racing highlights Race 2 at Bathurst
HARRI JONES and Adrian Flack continued on their Porsche Paynter Dixon Carrera Cup Australia Championship winning ways on Saturday at Mount Panorama - however all eyes weren't necessarily on the leaders.
An incredible six-car fight for places in the back half of the top 10 saw three-wide racing on the final lap of today's 25-minute sprint race in an incredible showcase of one-make Porsche racing on Mount Panorama.
Jones' led today's race from the start, gradually edging away from David Russell, in second, and Dale Wood in third.
Jones was unchallenged on his pathway to victory outright and in Equity-One Pro, ultimately becoming the only driver in the race to dip into the 2m05-second range during the race as he raced towards his twelfth win of what is becoming a dominant season.
David Russell locked in second place and Dale Wood third after fending off Michelin Junior champion in a race-long battle.
Bayley Hall finished fifth, ahead of Fabian Coulthard who was one of the race's biggest movers as he charged up multiple spots at the start to finish in the top six.
The biggest battle, however, was fought out for seventh position as Nash Morris spent much of his race fending off attack after attack from David Wall.
The pair duelled for several laps, which dragged Dylan O'Keeffe, Glen Wood and Marco Giltrap into what had evolved into a five car fight.
The final lap was a thriller as Wall drew alongside as they battled at turn one, O'Keeffe also drawing alongside as they went three-wide up Mountain Straight - Morris, remarkably, managing to hold onto the spot as they charged out of turn two.
That battle went all the way to the line with Morris just holding on at the end, with Walls and O'Keeffe next after a thrilling battle.
The SP Tools Pro-Am fight went the way of Adrian Flack, who spent much of his race dicing with Lockie Bloxsom and Ange Mouzouris - who survived an enormous off at The Chase mid-race - to claim another race win.
Race 1 winner Rodney Jane finished second to continue to lead the round standings going into tomorrow's finale', with Matt Belford third.
It was a tough race for Race 1 podium finishers Sam Shahin and Matt Slavin as the pair came together at turn one, dropping both down the order.
The third and final race of Round 6 of the championship doubles as the curtain raiser for the Repco Bathurst 1000 on Sunday morning at Mount Panorama, commencing at 9:15am local time with live coverage on Fox Sports, Kayo, Sky NZ and Channel 7 tomorrow.
