With his sights firming set on a Champ Car ride for the future, Marcus Marshall notched-up his third win in the Australian Formula Three championship at Surfers Paradise on a day when Karl Reindler took the championship.
Marshall didn't have it quite as easy as he had in the previous races with race-long pressure from Aaron Caratti, but the driver who took a British F3 race victory earlier this year kept it all together to record three from three at Surfers.
For the championship Team BRM's Karl Reindler was off to a bad start and was passed by title rival Chris Gilmour, but Reindler, who entered the race with a five point advantage, found a way past Gilmour. With his advantage Reindler could finish behind Gilmour, so he wasn't too concerned when the Queenslander made the place back on the last lap.
Sixteen-year-old Nic Jordan took the Yokohama Trophy class win and title, the youngest driver to race on the Indy street circuit.
