There will be two Pre-Finals in each category that split competitors before the Superfinal features the best from each Pre-Final to form a capacity grid. Kostecki won all of his heats.
Several other Australians have performed with distinction, including another West Australian in Valentino Giorgella – who was eighth in Mini Rok (he’ll start his Pre-Final fourth) and Queenslander Jace Matthews – who was caught out in wet qualifying for Senior ROK qualifying 59th (of 90). He ended his heat racing in 16th and will start his Pre-Final eighth.
