A huge field of 186 entrants are set to take to the brilliant Bend Motorsport Park on Saturday for Round 4 of the 2022 UniSA Australian HPV Super Series.
The race will be the biggest so far this season and will bring together teams from across South Australia and Victoria to battle for outright and category honours, as well as valuable Series points.
In the Open (C7) category, Aurora will again be the team to beat, with Gunyah and Platt Racing snapping at their heels. Aurora lead the Series on 449 points with Gunyah just one point behind on 448, followed by Platt Racing on 443. The vehicle finishing first in their category in a Series race receives 150 points. Second place in category gets 1 less point than first place and so on in a diminishing scale. Scores from a teams best 3 short duration rounds will be combined with the result from Round 6, the 24hr Australian International Pedal Prix at Murray Bridge to determine the Series results. Other contenders this weekend will be Trump Trikes, Gtrikes and Peninsula Human Power.
In the Senior Secondary category (S3), Black Friars Priory School Hound 1, a model of consistency, leads on 431, followed by Concordia College Concordi with 426, and Concordia College Veloci on 422.
