MINI Challenge Round 4 winner Chris Alajajian said:
“This is our third round win for the year and it’s great to have pulled a bigger gap over Paul [Stokell] in the series. We had a new sponsor, in local guys ABC Towing, for this round and I’m glad we could come to their home event and show our appreciation by winning here in Townsville. My team continue to do a fantastic job with the R56 Challenge car and it makes it so much more comfortable for me to drive because I have full trust in my car and team. We now have a big gap until the next round at Phillip Island which is a really fast event where anything can happen so expect some exciting racing down there MINI Challenge fans!”
