JFF Racing has cleaned up the iRacing V8 Supercar Saturday strength of field race. With the race going into two splits, there was always going to be a bit of competition, and that is what we had. Corey Preston put his Commodore on pole, with JFFs Philip Johansson in 2nd and Josh Burdon in 3rd. All three drivers qualified in the 2:03.8 bracket so before it even started, we knew it was going to be a close race. Corey got away to a good start, how ever for Philip Johansson he went no where off the start and gave 2nd to Josh. The three drivers where battling for a good 8 laps, before Corey put his foot down and got out to a 1.5 second lead. The JFF boys knew Corey would be extremely hard to pass, so they pitted early to try and under cut Corey. Phil pitted at the end of lap 11, and Josh pitted at the end of lap 12. When Josh pitted he could see Corey was about to come up to some lap traffic, which he thought could work into the favor of him. When Josh come out of the pits he had roughly a 4 second gap back to Phil, because Phil felt the need to put another 5 liters of fuel in his car to make it to the end. Corey pitted at the end of his lap 17 ( half race distance ). The Strategy for Josh worked as he jumped Preston in the pits, and continued to pull away from Corey. Mean while Johansson was busy catching Corey, when he caught up the two would battle for 7 odd laps, with eventually the pressure getting to Preston, and putting it in the wall at Forrest Elbow on lap 26 out of 33. This would mean the JFF Racing / Sim Racer Magazine commodores would finish 1 -2 with Josh winning by 7.7 seconds.
