David Wall has been stripped of victory in the opening Porsche Wilson Security Carrera Cup race of the weekend at The Bend Motorsport Park.
A late move on Michael Almond then moved Wall back into the lead before going on to take the chequered flag.
However, the 2017 series champion was handed a five-second post-race penalty after he was judged to have forced Jaxon Evans off the track.
The move saw Evans, who had been running second at the time, drop to fifth, losing contact with Wall and Almond at the front of the race.
The penalty for Wall drops him to second behind Almond, while Dale Wood remains third ahead of Evans.
