Kiwi Callum Hedge claimed his second career Porsche Paynter Dixon Carrera Cup Australia Championship round victory on the Gold Coast, as Harri Jones closed out a title-winning season to take the 2022 championship.
A pair of second-place finishes on Sunday delivered Team Porsche New Zealand / Earl Bamber Motorsport driver Hedge the Round Eight victory over Aaron Love and David Russell.
In yet another tense title finale’, Jones held on to the Aaron Love onslaught to claim the title by 11 points, delivering him a second one-make Porsche title having already claimed the Michelin Sprint Challenge crown in 2019.
Love finished second for the round and won both races on Sunday, coming from 330 points behind following round three to end up within striking distance of the leader heading into the final race.
Jones’ scored finishes of fifth and sixth across Sunday’s pair of races, respectively, more than enough to seal his title, delivering McElrea Racing their third Carrera Cup crown.
The Porsche Paynter Dixon Carrera Cup Australia champions will be formally crowned on the Gold Coast on Sunday night in the return of the traditional end-of-season awards gala.
