Race Day Part Three
Edwards is losing a lot of time to Cartwright.
And Cartwright is losing out to Greenhalgh as the gap between them is now three seconds.
Gilson attempts a move on Jalving.
But thinks better of it.
He tries again.
But just like Monaco, there doesn't seem to be an easy place to overtake here.
Gilson isn't about to give up though.
Warrington and Maverick close up too.
10 lap to go and despite the rain, everyone is staying on slick tyres.
Jalving takes a defensive line to protect his position.
Gilson looks to the inside, will Jalving hold him off again?
He does yes! It's quite close between these four drivers.
Greenhalgh ticks off the laps one by one.
Edwards is looking increasingly lonely out there in 3rd.
Gilson just can't find a way past Jalving, will he resort to bumping into the Dutchman?
Cartwright looks like he is beginning to chip away at Greenhalgh's lead.
7 laps left to take that place.
It may be too little too late or Greenhalgh is managing the gap.
5 laps to go.
It looks like the battle for 7th has settled down for now.
Warrington nearly throws it all away.
Maverick isn't close enough to capitalise on Warrington's mistake.
It looks like Greenhalgh is pulling away from Cartwright again.
Legge in a quiet 6th place.
Steer in 5th.
Last lap.
Greenhalgh wins the South Australian Grand Prix.
Ross Cartwright finishes in 2nd place.
Owen Edwards follows up his 2nd place in Melbourne with 3rd here in Adelaide.
Congratulations to Ed Greenhalgh and Aston Martin Racing, winners of the South Australian Grand Prix.
Stay tuned for the official results.

Well 8th place is pretty good, I just think I could've ended higher up the field if I wasn't stuck behind that blasted MPR 
The car seems good so far with Ross finishing 2nd, and me gaining five places at the start. I hope this pace lasts through the season

That was incredibly disappointing...
Sorry boss!
Sorry boss!
Finally got to read the Over The Limit magazine, and it is a great read. As for people not coming to watch the race, are they crazy? Anyways, everyone here at Christel VXR are quite disappointed to see the cars finish 13th and 18th. I don't know why terrible results are coming through when I seem to be doing well in the tester's sessions.
Well done to the Demon Racing drivers!!! Our first ever points in GPGSL, and some fantastic performances from both Jake and Zsigmond!! Special bonuses in your pay this week as reward! 
Zsigimond showed great guts and determination, racing his way up the field despite no doubt feeling some pain and soreness from his huge accident back in Melbourne. And Jake has got the great finishing result his qualifying deserved!
Now, as team boss, I am ORDERING my two drivers onto the Demon Racing corporate jet, as we head north to far north Australia for some warm rest and relaxation before Singapore.....
GPGSL Team Owner Debut - Melbourne, Season 8 - present
GPGSL Test Debut - Hungary, Season 4. GPGSL Race Debut - Adelaide, Season 5.

Maverick not too delighted with his 10th place
"It was a tough race for me, but first of all congratulations to my teammate Ed and his well-deserved win. He was THE ONE at this weekend and has shown that the car has potential for wins. For me, though, this is the only positive outcome of the weekend. My second to last fastest lap does not fully reflect the potential of the car, since I was always in the traffic when I had fresh tyres. But still, the car didn't feel right. Overtaking is difficult here, we knew that and hence didn't expect to drive from 11th to a podium. But yet we hoped for a tad bit more than this. I really need to work on this one-lap qualifying in the simulator, especially since now we're on the way to Singapore, where overtaking will be pretty much impossible. So a good qualifying position will be essential! But it's like always. I sit in a completely new car and need some time to get used to it. We have only run 2 races until now, nothing is lost, yet."

Great 4th place for me, I like the decision I made to go back racing
I do wonder what happened to Carlos though, he was around 10th place just after the pitstops and then he was in 21st place all of a sudden..

9th with a boost. Not good enough
Can anyone tell me how I ended up back there?? Total dissapointment. At least Stefan got that awesome 4th place for the team.

I have no idea Carlos. I will re-run the race and see if it repeats what happened to you.

Worst race ever.
So frustrating to know we have the pace to race at the front but the situation prevents it. Ill leave Oz looking for a fresh start.

I got an exact repeat of the race Carlos, you was running in 11th place behind Maverick when the pitstops began. You was one of the last to make a stop, which went without a problem and you re-emerged in 11th behind Maverick, so no change there. On your out lap however, you developed a throttle problem and had to pit again to get it fixed.

Not a great race from MPR. I qualified in 6th position, but I just didnt have the racepace! I had to defend most of the race, this was very frusterating. a 7th place was the max today, still some good points! We have a lot to work on and im looking forward to the next race..

A very decent result for Connor! 5th is a good spot to be building on, but we are not there yet! Despite Gary having quite some speed he was trapped to be in last place on this street circuit.
We are looking forward to score a double top 10 in the next race!
If you are racing, keep on racing and get some points!

Very disappointing result, the pace for a top 3 finish was definitely there, but as I screwed up quali, this was impossible to achieve.
@Stu:
once again a great coverage
Also I could do the track gpi's if you still need someone to do them
Some mods
