Jack LeBrocq picked up the 9th last-place finish of his career when his #34 Truck Assist Holden finished under power, 4 laps down in the first race at Albert Park. The finish came in LeBrocq's 140th start.
Jack LeBrocq is in his 5th full-time season, with a couple of seasons beforehand driving as co-driver and Wildcard. He was 21st in Practice 1, then dropped to 23rd in Practice 2. He rose slightly to 22nd in Qualifying.
Jake Kostecki in the #56 Tradie Ford started the race in the rear after being sent to the back along with Scott Pye in the #20 Hino/Nulon Holden, but by Turn 6 Jack Smith in the #4 SCT Logistics Holden had fallen to the rear. Jake Kostecki would soon return to last. Smith and Kostecki would battle for last in the early laps. Lap 3 saw Todd Hazelwood in the #35 Truck Assist Holden pit and fall to last.
Later Lap 3 saw Andre Heimgartner in the #8 R&J Batteries/Club Cadet Holden run into Jack LeBrocq in the #34 Truck Assist Holden, breaking the steering on LeBrocq's car, sending him to the garage and losing 4 laps in repairs.
LeBrocq would remain last for the rest of the race, though Chris Pither in the #22 Coca Cola Holden almost claimed last late, after also losing 4 laps with issues late in the race.
Anton De Pasquale in the #11 Shell V-Power Ford blew a tire on Lap 17, losing a lap getting back to the pits. Lee Holdsworth in the #10 Penrite Oils Ford had the same problem on the same lap. Rounding out the bottom 5 is Thomas Randle in the #55 Castrol Ford.
