Tamasi takes dramatic Sports Sedans opener

Tamasi leads Randle

Steve Tamasi was victorious in a wild Precision National Sports Sedans Series opener at Sandown.

Tamasi found himself in a big battle with Supercars star and Sports Sedans guest Thomas Randle for victory.

The pair raced hard for the first 10 laps with Tamasi getting the advantage from pole position, but Randle was able to wrestle back track position on Lap 8.

The SAAB looked set to take a fourth straight win, only for the race to come to a dramatic end on Lap 10.

Randle possibly suffered a flat tyre, which sent the SAAB 9-3 off and into the wall just two laps from the chequered flag.

Tamasi was able to carry on and secure a 3s win over Peter Ingram, who carried on his impressively consistent 2024 with another podium to retain his points lead.

Steven Lacey rounded out the podium ahead of Geoff Taunton and Michael Robinson.

Joining Randle on the sidelines were Ray Hislop, Daniel Tamasi and Matt Ingram.

There will be double the racing and drama on Sunday at Sandown.
