The  2016 Nitto Aust4 Racing Series kicked into gear over the weekend with the Crofters 325 sponsored by Coldfront Air Conditioning. Held at Crofters Estate (formerly Landcruiser Mountain Park)  the large field was split into two groups that each battled it out over two x two hour sections on Saturday. The UTV’s, Stock and Modified Class competed on a shorter, faster flowing loop, while the the Ultra4’s and Ultra4 Limited Class had extensive rock sections including Cruiser Canyon and the steep climb up Telecom Hill added into the mix.

Friday afternoons qualifying session saw Pete Antunac and Dave Camp take pole position in each group, putting the #679 OPW Polaris and the #679 OPW Ultra4 on pole. It was a position Team OPW, Pete Antunac and Dave Camp would’t look back from, taking victory in both the UTV and Ultra4 Classes. Ben Napier and Mick Dolan pushed hard under lights in section 2 in the BN Motorsport Ultra4, but couldn’t reel in OPW’s early lead and was forced to settle for second. While Michael Hayes put in a solid performance to bring the Superior Engineering Ultra4 in to third. Mitch Thorpe set a cracking pace in section one, but retired his Ultra4 on the final lap of the section with two flats and a broken steering arm.
