How Supercars drivers spent the Easter break
Supercars drivers and their families were out in force this weekend, enjoying some quality time in the Easter holidays.
From race tracks to the beach, it was a busy weekend in Supercars driver-land.
Nick Percat
Nick Percat took his good form at Mount Panorama into production cars over the weekend, with a podium in the Bathurst 6 Hour.
The Walkinshaw Andretti United driver combined with 2021 winners Rob Rubis and Shane Smollen to claim third aboard a Class X BMW M4.
Answering a late call-up to replace Shane van Gisbergen, it marked Percat’s first attempt at the six-hour endurance event.
Will Brown
Erebus Motorsport’s Will Brown completed double duties on the weekend, competing in the TCR Australia Touring Car Series and Bathurst 6 Hour.
The 23-year-old joined the A1 Class Bathurst 6 Hour field alongside Mark Griffith and Rod Salmon.
Brown finished fourth in the final TCR race, but a five-second penalty demoted him to seventh.
In a challenging weekend at the mountain, the A1 Class Mercedes AMG recorded a DNF, breaking down two hours into the six-hour event.
Will Davison
Two-time Bathurst winner Will Davison also joined the popular six-hour event, alongside 2019 winners Beric Lynton and Tim Leahey.
A fuel pump issue on the opening lap put the BMW M3 12 laps down, but the trio recovered to finish 27th.
Todd Hazelwood
Matt Stone Racing’s Todd Hazelwood enjoyed an Easter break of two halves, hitting both the kart track and the beach on the weekend.
Hazelwood spent a day racing his KT2 go-kart in Bundaberg, finishing second in the TAG125cc class.
The 26-year-old then headed to the coast with partner Alice Litzow on Easter Monday.
Macauley Jones
Macauley Jones spent a weekend on the tools in Adelaide, assisting the Tom Williamson Motorsport team at the Australian Kart Championships.
The fitness enthusiast also kept up his running schedule across the break, hitting the Yackandandah trails on Monday.
David Reynolds
Grove Racing veteran David Reynolds had a change of pace over the four-day break, sharing Easter with his young family.
Celebrating his partner Tahan Lew Fatt’s birthday last Thursday, the duo spent time with loved ones in Melbourne with baby Ryu.
The Repco Supercars Championship field will return to Wanneroo Raceway for the Bunnings Trade Perth SuperNight across April 30 – May 1. Tickets are on sale now.
The event will be broadcast live on Foxtel and will be streamed on Kayo.
