Reigning GT4 champion Hayman and Murray took victory over the #227 Ford Mustang of Cameron McLeod\/Mason Harvey.<\/p>\n

Having struggled throughout the start of the season, the pair\u2019s victory, combined with struggles for other title contenders, saw them inherit the championship lead.<\/p>\n

Jarrod Hughes and Summer Rintoule rounded out the podium in the #87 McLaren.<\/p>\n

Solo driver Jensen Shearer capped off a solid weekend to finish fourth, while Jack Wallis\/Sam Paley came home fifth.<\/p>\n

Murray led the field away from pole position, building a gap over Harvey with lightning reactions as the green flag waved.<\/p>\n

Chris White immediately brought the #9 GWR Toyota Supra into third place, displacing Jensen Shearer.<\/p>\n

As the leaders battled for position, chaos erupted at Turn 3 as Jobe Stewart was tipped into a spin by Blake Tracey.<\/p>\n

Stewart\u2019s #48 Audi was left stranded in the middle of the corner, forcing Lochie Dalton wide into the grass, while Jay Murray clipped Stewart, damaging the left-front suspension.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

As Murray attempted to stay out of the field\u2019s way, Race 1 Silver-Am winner Andrew Torti made wheel-to-wheel contact with the slowing BMW, launching the #88 Toyota high into the air.<\/p>\n

Murray\u2019s #7 BMW ground to a halt on the run to Turn 6, drawing the safety car.<\/p>\n

Torti continued back to the pit lane, initially continuing with what appeared to be minimal damage.<\/p>\n

However, the Supra was back into the lane a lap later, eventually pushed into the garage and out of the race.<\/p>\n

Tracey was awarded a drive through penalty for the contact on Stewart.<\/p>\n

Jarrod Keyte survived a scary moment when he was spun at Turn 2 in a battle with Dalton, which culminated in the #21 Mustang rolling backwards across the circuit.<\/p>\n

All incoming cars managed to avoid the stricken Mustang, and Keyte was able to recover and continue unscathed.<\/p>\n

In a race of attrition, White began to slow on the back straight, with high engine temperature taking the Race 1 winner out of contention.<\/p>\n

A handful of laps later, Steve Jakic was side-lined by a punctured right rear tyre, dropping the Silver-Am championship leading car well out of contention.<\/p>\n

The long green flag run allowed Stewart and Dalton to get back into the top 15 prior to the pit stop cycle.<\/p>\n

With no additional pit stop time, Hayman kept the lead once aboard the #25 McLaren, closely followed by McLeod.<\/p>\n

A slight delay for third place runner Jensen Shearer while exiting the pit lane saw Hughes able to enter podium contention following a solid opening stint from Rintoule.<\/p>\n

William Exton\/Jack Johnson brought the #114 McLaren home in sixth spot, ahead of solo Silver Cup competitor Jake Camilleri.<\/p>\n

Caleb Paterson and substitute co-driver Scott Green finished in eighth position outright to take Silver-Am Cup honours.<\/p>\n

Aaron Cameron\/Dalton recovered to finish ninth, ahead of Purdie\/Stewart rounding out the top 10.<\/p>\n

Glenn Walker bounced back from issues in Race 1 to take the Am Cup victory in 12th position outright.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Tom Hayman and Jett Murray led from lights to flag to win Race 2 of Monochrome GT4 Australia…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":735712,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[572],"tags":[64,63,150567,806,805,803,804,254712,85],"class_list":["post-735711","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-motosport","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-monochrome-gt4-australia","tag-motor","tag-motor-sports","tag-motosport","tag-motosports","tag-speedseries","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/735711","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=735711"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/735711\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/735712"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=735711"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=735711"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=735711"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
