Seton gets the ill-handling new Nissan this weekend, as the ATCC makes it's only stop in Queensland.

Johnson takes a comfortable pole from Miedecke, but a long hold on the start line results in a grabbing clutch, causing him to creep at the start. Miedecke goes with him, and both cop one minute penalties. Miedecke then makes contact with Bowe and spins off at the Carousel, losing even more time. Bowe leads until half distance, when broken rear suspension puts him out and puts Longhurst into the lead. Johnson's pace took him back within range of the podium, but he couldn't shake Longhurst. A quick spin from the Freeport car dropped 10 seconds, but didn't stop Longhurst taking a comfortable win from Johnson, while Moffat finishes on the podium of an ATCC round for the first time since 1984.
