In the Prefinal he went from the back to 15th, then in the Grand Final he had a flying start up to 7th then was taken out and finished as last on the track.
Luke Gardiner, in his first major race with the team, was quick enough but was wiped out through no fault of his own in the first one and ended up in the B Final. From grid 16 in the B Final he unfortunately got caught up in an accident in front of him and finished 18th.
