JC and HRT Battle Through The Heat

Monster Energy athlete and Holden factory driver James Courtney produced the goods on Saturday with a pole-setting lap for Race 13 of the Championship.

“After struggling a bit with the car during practice we had a bit of a find overnight and the car was hooked-up Saturday morning so it was sweet to put the HRT Commodore back to the top of the grid,” said JC.

The Monster effort was backed up by two top-10 race results. A sixth on Saturday and a seventh place for Sunday’s 200km feature race.

JC’s championship run remains in solid shape with the Gold Coaster sitting strong in sixth in the drivers’ standings.
