Report

Background

Shane van Gisbergen entered the event as the championship leader ahead of Fabian Coulthard and James Courtney.

Race 3

Race three began in damp conditions. Polesitter Scott McLaughlin had a slow getaway from pole position and was rounded up by Chaz Mostert and Shane van Gisbergen off the start. On lap two, Fabian Coulthard made contact with Rick Kelly on the exit of turn three, slowing up Garth Tander (who was behind Kelly), who in turn was hit by Cameron Waters and subsequently spun, causing a chain reaction crash involving Tim Blanchard, James Courtney, Will Davison, Simona de Silvestro, Taz Douglas, James Moffat, Nick Percat, Scott Pye, Alex Rullo and Tim Slade. The race was immediately red-flagged and of the cars involved only Coulthard, de Silvestro and Waters returned to the grid (Coulthard and Waters) or the pit-lane (de Silvestro). The race was suspended for 45 minutes before the field completed two more laps under the Safety Car before the race was declared under time-certain conditions, with van Gisbergen winning the race after passing Mostert before the incident occurred. [2] McLaughlin finished down in 14th having accidentally driven into the pit-lane as opposed to the grid in the red-flag period. Points were initially awarded to the fifteen classified finishers but were later rescinded. [3]
