Race result roundup from Daytona:
DMAX-GT
With the absence of both defending champions for this round, it was all to play for in an ultra-competitive DMAX-GT grid. After just missing out on the overall Lightweight podium last season, Luke Dodman returned with pole position by nearly an entire second. SuperChamps regular Toby Mawdesley lined up alongside him on the front row, with reigning vice-champion Joseph Simcock in P3. In the Heavyweights, it was truly the return of Greg Chapman, as the former Heavyweight champion took pole position in class.

In the shootout, Dodman converted his pole in dominant fashion, winning by over fifteen seconds. This was partly due to the large amount of battling behind, which was eventually won by Simcock, with Mawdesley and current lap record holder Jack Middleton close for P3. Chapman was also involved, finishing P3 overall and P1 in Heavyweight.

There was drama in the feature race, with polesitter Dodman suffering a spin on the first lap, dropping him to last and causing him to have to fight through the field for most of the race. He eventually made his way all the way back to P3 in class – a sterling effort. After spending much of the most recent seasons being the bridesmaid but rarely the bride, it was finally the turn of Simcock to start his championship bid in style. Him and Chapman were together for most of the race, working together to secure the win in each class. Antony Wypych was a fantastic P3 overall and P2 in Heavyweights, with Demetri Wade and Middleton rounding out the Heavyweight and Lightweight podiums.
