After (nearly) four championship rounds, 80 heats, four semi finals and three main finals we arrived at the ultimate race of the series with Rohan Tungate and Brady Kurtz locked together on points and the title on the line.

It went down to the very last race of the very last meeting to decide the 2018 Australian Champion but when Rohan Tungate secured second place ahead of last placed Brady Kurtz in the final at Gilman, won by Jack Holder, it confirmed Tungate as the Aussie Champion.

Round three of the Australian titles held at Mildura on Friday 12th January brought the series back to life with Brady Kurtz scoring some big points to claw back from eight points adrift to draw level on the overall series scorechart with the man who had previously threatened to run away with the title Rohan Tungate. It’s all to play for heading to the final round at Gillman on Sunday evening.
