That was amazing stuff. Great drives from Jonny Reid for Team NZ. Just before Taupo, too. Otherwise, I'm almost lost for words, so I will just run through the info.

I'm almost (but not quite) beginning to feel sorry for Robbie Kerr. He dropped a place in the Sprint Race, which was a shame, but then drove very well in the feature race to cope with the misfire, although he was flirting with disaster all the time with his wide, sweeping approach to the corners, often touching the wet white lines and sometimes the grass. We will find out in due course if it was that that caught him out in the end or the engine problem.
