1. Madison Down

Madison Down’s performance perfectly sums up how quickly things can change in the Motorsport Australia Logitech G Pro Invitational Cup. After a power outage put an end to his hopes at Sebring in 2022, Down would return in 2023 with a dominant display of driving sweeping both pole position & the race win. If his form from round 1 is anything to go by, we expect Madison Down to be ruthless in his pursuit of a championship in 2023.

2. James Scott

First full time start, first podium. Pretty solid first day in the office for James Scott. Although he will be seething he couldn’t get the jump on the TTR duo of Madison Down & Brady Meyers, a podium is a solid way to being the long haul in 2023. With a result on the board early in the 2023 Motorsport Australia Logitech G Pro Invitational Cup, Scott will only look to get better from here.

3. Jake Moloney

Jake Moloney is no stranger to clinical drives through the field, but Sebring was a sensational statement from the TTR stalwart. A difficult qualifying saw Moloney in 20th, but it was clear from the moment the flag dropped his race pace exceeded his turn of pace in qualifying. Constantly moving forward, Moloney made the move for 6th in the closing stages, holding off Wayne Bourke & Ethan Grigg-Gault in a thrilling battle.

4. Jack Boyd

If you looked at the qualifying standings, Jack Boyd would of been a name that looked rather out of place in 40th. But it didn’t take long for the Synergy Sim Racing driver to turn the tables with a scintillating drive through the field to claim 20th position at the line. A great drive for Jack showcased what he is capable of when under pressure to perform, one would wonder what was achievable with a better grid position.

5. Thomas Freeman

A somewhat dark horse entering the 2023 Motorsport Australia Logitech G Pro Invitational Cup, Thomas Freeman showed he was a driver to watch over the course of the 44 lap encounter at Sebring. Qualifying 38th, it looked like it may be a difficult night for the Fishy Motorsports driver, but driving through the field to 21st by end of the race, it’s highlighted the potential this driver has to offer. Keep an eye out for Freeman in round 2 at Phillip Island to see if he can keep moving forward.

6. Blake Worboys

With arguably the most competitive Motorsport Australia Logitech G Pro Invitational Cup field in recent times, Blake’s performance on his return to the series in 2023 is a great springboard for the season ahead. A fairly clean day in the books coming home 17th is nothing to be unhappy about for Worboys, who for the most part was mixing it in and around the top 15 for the majority of the race.

7. Luke Rosella

After finishing 5th in the 2022 instalment of the series, there were high hopes for the Synergy Sim Racing driver heading into 2023. Although finishing in 19th and a penalty may not look like the greatest result, digging deeper you’ll find it doesn’t tell the whole story. Qualifying an outstanding 3rd, not only would Rosella start at the front, he looked like a genuine contender early on. Although things didn’t go to plan, his efforts at round one of the Motorsport Australia Logitech G Pro Invitational Cup haven’t gone unnoticed.
