October 31, 2026

GRRL! SUMMARY:

  • IMOGEN RADBURN made a bold but costly call, pitting on the formation lap for slick tyres just as rain began to fall, leaving her exposed on a soaking circuit.
  • The gamble backfired as the slick-shod RADBURN emerged onto a wet track, making her race extremely difficult from the outset in the Mustang Cup Australia round.
  • Josh Trappett took a maiden win by just 0.11s over Oli Wickham in a frantic finish, with a drying track punishing those on wet-weather rubber late on.
  • Championship leader Josh Anderson was handed a 15-second penalty for contact, shaking up the title fight heading into Sunday’s decider.
