Star. Wayne Mack, after triumphing in Race-3 and being awarded Race-1 upon the disqualification and penalisation of the two cars that had crossed the line before him, triumphed again at the weekend in his all black 458 Italia GT3 with the shape of the Prancing Horse drawn in yellow. However, Hector Lester was unlucky in the sister car of Rosso Verde Racing.
