Hazelwood led the field away at the start from pole, but Herne made his presence known almost immediately.<\/p>\n

The two-time champions battled it out up Mountain Straight, with Herne momentarily taking the lead before Hazelwood took it back into Griffins Bend.<\/p>\n

Back in the minor positions, Jarrod Hughes and Tom Davies were engaged in an enthralling battle for sixth position.<\/p>\n

Hazelwood appeared to struggle in the opening laps with understeer, allowing Herne to reel him back in.<\/p>\n

Herne took the lead at The Chase, and the battle between the pair allowed James Moffat, James Golding, and Ben Bargwanna to reel the leaders back in.<\/p>\n

Adam Garwood suffered a mechanical failure across the top of the mountain, leaving a trail of fluid on the road around McPhillamy Park and over Skyline.<\/p>\n

Garwood was able to stay off the racing line, but the safety car was drawn to recover the stricken car.<\/p>\n

Despite the recovery effort, the race finished under safety car due to the amount of fluid on the road.<\/p>\n

Moffat, Golding, and Bargwanna rounded out the top five behind Herne and Hazelwood.<\/p>\n

Hughes, Davies, and Jack Smith were next in the queue, with Ben Gomersall and Elliot Barbour rounding out the top 10.<\/p>\n

The Trans Am Cup Series returns for Race 2 at 3:55pm AEDT.<\/p>\n
