Jordan Cox celebrated Australia Day in style by taking his first ever victory in a TCR car at Symmons Plains Raceway.
However, it was fellow Alfa Romeo driver Lee Holdsworth who was on pole position for this second race of the 2021 TCR Australia Series. The former V8 Supercars star wouldn’t lead the pack for long though, as Cox managed to out-drag him as the start lights went out.
The best getaway of all, however, came from a row further back on the grid. Aaron Cameron got a brilliant launch in his Peugeot 308 TCR, and promptly scythed ahead of Holdsworth and Josh Buchan as if they were standing still, elevating him up into second place.
