ASBK competition from ‘The Island’ left spectators breathless after all three races were decided on the final lap, two of those in dispute right to the final corner. Non-stop battles at the head of the field, including the controversial Race 2 finish between privateer Aiden Wagner and Team Suzuki ECSTAR Australia’s Wayne Maxwell, means that you will have plenty of action to enjoy all over again before the ASBK moves to Wakefield Park for Round 2 on 22-24 March.
