“Down the back straight into the fast chicane we’re actually doing warp speed — it’s like 280 kays or something we’re doing, which is fast as.” “It’s an awesome start to the year,” title leader Brown said. “To make the switch over this year, there were a lot of unknown and probably for the team as well with me as a driver.
The trophy was inaugurated in 2018 — the first season in which the Melbourne SuperSprint was eligible for championship points — in honour of six-time Bathurst 1000 winner and 11-time grand prix entrant Perkins. “If you can win a race it’s great. If you can win the round, which obviously gets you the Larry Perkins Trophy, it’s even better.
Two 15-minute qualifying sessions open the day on Saturday, setting the starting order for the two 80-kilometre races later that day and on Sunday morning. “I’ve won races there before, been on pole a few times, had a lot of success there,” Reynolds said. “It’s a very difficult track to get your car in the window.With 320 points available this weekend including bonuses for pole — the most of any round in the championship — there’s no room for the teams treat this as anything other than a critical round.The format will work to place additional importance on qualifying, which will be crucial to a good result.
