Rookie error spin into the gravel leaves Jackson Walls last at Albert Park

Credit to Supercars

Jackson Walls (#11 Objective Ford) picked up the 1st last-place finish of his career. He finished 1 lap down in the first race at Albert Park. The finish came in Walls’ 4th start.

Jackson Walls came out of nowhere in 2018, jumping up to Formula 4. He would ascend the Formulas until he switched to the Toyota Racing Series in 2019. He won 1 race there, in 2020 at Pukekohe. Walls moved to Super 2 and Porsche in 2025, and SCT Logistics Racing promoted him to the main game in 2026 when they switched teams.

He was 23rd in Practice 1, then slipped to slowest in Practice 2. He improved to 18th in Qualifying.

Jayden Ojeda (#31 Mr. Umami/Nulon Chevrolet) started the race last after a Turn 5 crash ruled him out of qualifying. Joining him out was Macauley Jones (#96 Alpha Theta Toyota). The latter had an oil pressure issue.

However, off the start, he passed Macauley Jones (#96 Alpha Theta Toyota).

At Turn 3, Andre Heimgartner (#8 R&J Batteries Toyota) spun Lai Allen (#26 Penrite Oils Ford), sending the latter to last place.

Allen would rebound and relegate Declan Fraser (#777 Mr. Umami/Nulon Chevrolet) to last place on Lap 3. Allen would finish 11th.

Jackson Walls (#11 Objective Ford) spun into the sand at Turn 11 on Lap 6. The spin dropped him to last under the first safety car. Walls lost a lap while the rescue team retrieved him.

Walls would remain last for the rest of the race.

Aaron Cameron (#3 Liqui Moly Ford) fell to 23rd after spinning late. Declan Fraser (#777 Mr. Umami/Nulon Chevrolet), Macauley Jones (#96 Alpha Theta Toyota) and Jobe Stewart (#9 Solo Chevrolet) completed the bottom five.
