TTR v SSR Rivalry heats up!

The latest round of the Logitech G Pro Invitational Supercar Series highlighted the increasing rivalry between the two heavyweights of Australian V8 Sim racing, SSR and TTR. At the front, not an inch was given as the top drivers traded paint and slogged it out for the win.

In the end it was SSR’s Jarrad Filsell who got the upper hand, surviving two safety car restarts whilst chaos ensued around him. It was TTR’s Ethan Warren and team mate Madison Down filling out the final two positions of the podium.

During the race, there were multiple clashes between SSR and TTR drivers, highlighted by an aggressive move on TTR’s Josh Anderson and Madison Down by Brodie Kostecki at the end of Kemmel straight. The move made it three wide on the entry to the chicane and sent both TTR cars off track, Madison lucky to escape damage as he re-entered out of control into the path of Josh Anderson. The TTR/Cooldrive Mustang spun into the path of the field, collecting another TTR entry of Ellis at the same time. This incident infuriated the team at TTR, labelling the move as ‘crazy and careless’. But stewards didn’t see an infringement, and Brodie pressed on in the fight for a podium.

In the final moments of the race, roles were reversed as Madison escaped penalty for netcode contact with SSR’s Wayne Bourke. The SSR #89 was fighting for a podium when Madison darted out from under the rear wing of Bourke, collecting the Commodore and sending it off the track and out of contention. SSR’s team manager equally as infuriated that Madison escaped a penalty stating ‘Mads somehow got away with murder there, devastated for Bourkey to wear that one. Still plenty of racing to go this season’.

At the flag however, Jarrad Filsell claimed yet another victory only hours after SSR announced Dayne Warren would be pairing with Jarrad for the endurance races coming up, setting the stage for another bumper round at Hockenheim on the 14th of September. Jarrad cheekily admitting ‘I love beating TTR cars’.
