Australian HPV Super Series Kicks off in Adelaide

The Australian HPV Super Series kicked off in Adelaide on the weekend, with the race being won by the 2006 Super Series overall winners, Team Ballistic. The win didn't come easy though, with Deakin University's new vehicle, "Phantom GT6", swapping the lead with Ballistic the entire 6 hours. The Phantom vehicle showed amazing speed through the hairpins and the uphill section of the Victoria Park circuit.
Ballistic finished strongly, with the margin to Phantom after 6 hours of racing being less then a lap. Trisled Racing finished a distant 3rd. Das Racing, sporting a sleek new open fairing, finished 4th, whilst the Barossa Boys and Team Bluebird completed the top 6.
The battles wern't just at the pointy end of the field, with all catergories going down to the wire; Aberfoyle Hub Primary School's "Cruising Hubcaps", Scotch College's "SCR1" and Westminster's "Calais" won cat. 1, 2 and 3 respectively.

The event was raced in a clean manner, with the record number of entries generally enjoying incident free racing.

The Super Series will resume once again, when teams take to Victoria Park for Round 2, held on the 28-29 of July.
