While both Blake and Kyle had never previously driven at the iconic track, they guided the #17 Aubin Brothers Racing Renault Megane to first in Class C in each of the four one-hour races that acted as the series opener.

It not only gave them round honours, but it was the perfect way to start their bid for overall class championship glory for the season.

“It was a great team effort all weekend, we got our championship off to a perfect start,” Blake Aubin said.

“Hopefully we can take that momentum to Queensland Raceway and do it all again. That [race four] was good fun, I had to earn that one.

“The state was really even with the other class C cars and they jumped us in the pit stops somehow. We got them back on the track, there was a good few battles in that one.”

Forming part of a strong 43-car field in the first of five rounds, Blake got the team off to a good start as he topped his qualifying session on Friday afternoon.

In race one Kyle Aubin topped his class and placed 23^rd outright, while Blake drove his way to 16^th outright in race two to again claim Class C honours.

“It was very hectic at the start of my race, there was a lot of contact and different classes getting mixed up, but it was good fun and once it spread out, it was back to the class battles and it was really enjoyable,” Blake said after Saturday’s race.

“There was a lot of debris on the track, but we managed to miss all that and it was a good race.

“We have started the championship pretty well, that is the goal, to get as many points as we can and build momentum, and we ticked that box today.”

“Hopefully we can do more of the same tomorrow, just get a good start and keep the gap but it should be interesting, without the state series guys I think it will be a lot closer, we will see how it goes,” Kyle Aubin added.

The brothers backed that up on Sunday with two more class wins, Kyle placing 15^th outright in race three and Blake 19^th in race four.
