Tratracer23 finished second in the Australia D1 race from fourth on the grid, taking 23 points out of Jonno's championship advantage.

Demaiko won from P3 for Williams, with Triske043 third for VCARB. Jonno did not appear in the podium places.

A swing without a change in the top two

Jonno remains the listed championship leader on 111 points, with Meowsy second on 103. Tratracer's gain changes the pressure behind that pair rather than displacing either one.

That distinction matters: the 23-point swing is measured against Jonno, while the official gap at the head of the table remains eight points to Meowsy.

The title field compresses from below

Tratracer gained two grid positions and finished ahead of both listed championship leaders. Australia therefore strengthens a challenge without handing it first or second in the cumulative table.

The result is a reminder that a standings top two can remain static while the contest around it moves sharply. Tratracer's second place supplies the movement; Jonno's 111 still supplies the lead.
