Lap 1 crash leaves Jack LeBrocq last at Adelaide

Original by Speecafe, Screenshotted by me.

Jack LeBrocq (#9 Tyrepower Chevrolet) picked up the 20th last-place finish of his career. He crashed out on the opening lap of the last race at the Adelaide Street Circuit. The finish came in LeBrocq’s 267th start.

Jack LeBrocq is in his 8th full-time season, one of five 2018 rookies alongside Richie Stanaway, Anton De Pasquale, Todd Hazelwood, and James Golding. Only Jack LeBrocq and Anton De Pasquale have raced all 8 years. Stanaway and Golding spent time out of the sport. Hazelwood has been out since replacing Brodie Kostecki at Erebus Motorsports for the first two races of 2024 because of mental health issues. Jack LeBrocq debuted with Tekno Autosports. He moved to Tickford in 2020 and won his first race with them. LeBrocq then moved to Matt Stone Racing in 2022. In 2023, he won his second race before moving to Erebus Motorsports in 2024.

This year has been brutal for Jack. Several crashes and other issues had left him, until the previous race, potentially defending his last-place crown. But it wasn’t to be.

Jack LeBrocq was 24th in both practice sessions and only improved to 20th in qualifying.

Cooper Murray (#99 Total Energies Chevrolet) started last after a left-rear wheel nut came off the car. This resulted in a lucky escape, only bumping the notorious Turn 8 with the left-rear.

The tire subsequently coming off triggered a red flag, deleting Murray’s fastest lap.

Turn 6 lap 1 saw the Championship and this race’s last place get decided. Ryan Wood (#2 Truck Assist/NTI Ford) spun Broc Feeney (#88 Red Bull/Ampol Chevrolet), sending Feeney to the rear.

Jack LeBrocq (#9 Tyrepower Chevrolet) smashed into the back of Nick Percat (#10 Bendix Chevrolet) in the aftermath.

The collision sent Percat into James Golding (#31 Nulon Chevrolet) and destroyed the nose of LeBrocq’s car, ending his race.

Nick Percat would have race-long issues, finishing 22nd.

Karma would hit Ryan Wood late in the race, steering damage costing him 7 laps.

For the 2nd year in a row, Cooper Murray (#99 Total Energies Chevrolet) would suffer a front-end failure during the race, losing 6 laps in repairs. He finished 23rd.

Austin Cindric (#5 Armor All Ford) would complete the Bottom 5.
