Brendon Leitch took an historic victory in the Spirit of a Nation feature race, becoming the first local driver to win the ‘home’ Toyota Racing Series feature race, the Spirit of a Nation.
Just 19 years old and in his second season of TRS, Leitch has struggled to fully fund his racing but drove the race of his career, fending off a determined charge from young American Santino Ferrucci that saw the pair side by side in the first corner when the race started. He quickly took command of the race, extending a lead of half a second that become two seconds late in the race when Ferrucci slid wide while challenging for the lead.
The championship now treks north into the North Island’s fertile Waikato region for the mid-point round of the championship.
