Gerg Kroef set the fastest time in Qualifying on Saturday, but in Sunday's racing it was his son Brad Kroef who came away with victory. Daniel Ludlam slotted into 2nd just 4.9 seconds behind with Saturday's race-winner Phill Ross in 3rd. But along the way there were plenty of bumps and bruises for the rest of the field.
THE TITLE RACE TIGHTENS AS BRAD KROEF & PHILL ROSS EACH SCORE WINS
In Round Two at Hampton Downs, we welcomed Ferodo as our round sponsor.
Ferodo is not only supplier of brake pads to the V8 Utes. Many years ago, Ferodo supported the great race at Bathurst in Australia, when which was known as the Hardie Ferodo 500 - the first ‘Holden vs Ford’ challenge. In fact, Ferodo has been involved in every level of motorsport worldwide for decades, from rallying to F1. So it was quite an honour for NZV8 utes join this illustrious global family.
As Richard Allport of Neil Allport Motorsport, exclusive NZ agent for Ferodo said, “Ferodo were one of the first brake manufacturers to support motorsport over 100 years ago.”
Thanks @ferodoracing! Thanks Neil Allport Motorsports!
