A fantastic effort put forward by the talented young Aussie, Will Power and Alan Docking Racing, saw that Will was awarded 'Driver of the Weekend' today, after two strong qualifiers and a gutsy race in which he finished second for his first podium of the season.

A clever strategy and a tidy lap from a determined Will, saw that the number 10 ADR car would grid up fourth fastest for race one - one tenth behind second place and just behind Nelshino Piquet in third - with a time of 1:15.675.

Believing better things were possible, only a few minor tweaks were made for session two where Will put in a blinding lap of 1:15.206, placing him fastest. After pitting with 12 minutes of the session remaining, Will was pipped for pole on the penultimate lap with a time .014 seconds faster than his own and would therefore line up in a respectable P2 for the second race.

The rain stopped long enough on Sunday for race one to get underway, albeit on a wet track. Will emulated his electric start from round one at Doningtion Park and passed Piquet before turn one. Putting the pressure on Dirani, Will slipped passed and after some close racing, Dirani spun himself off the track. Battling now for first, Will pushed hard for the remainder of the race first holding off round one winner Adam Carroll, and ultimately Piquet on a drying track, Will crossed the line in a well deserved second place to take his first podium of the season.

The relentless rain meant that race two unfortunately had to be cancelled, leaving Will pumped up for his front row start, but with no race to run. The grid positions will be carried over to a future meeting where they will run the race on a Saturday after qualifying.

"It just goes to show that hard work and determination pays off!" Exclaimed Will.

"After qualifying one, I knew we could do better and we did - even struggling with slight understeer. We managed to go out there, get a good time and still do the least amount of laps out of everyone."

"It is great to get a podium finish early on, points are always the aim – the team and I have really jelled together and we are very positive about things to come, it's still very early days. We have got to the stage now where we can go to a track and only have to make minor adjustments, it's where we want to be at right now." Will said.

The next race meeting is at Croft on May 1st and 2nd, in two weeks time.
