She took 10 laps of bumper to bumper pressure from Jeremy and handled it on par with a professional, forcing Jeremy to take second and Justin Ten Pow third.

Meanwhile , in the Shifters, her father wasted little time in taking the first race under his belt after pulling out an early lead on the competition. Matthew Phang finished second while Michael Gonzalves ended third.
Race two, however, which saw a 50 percent inverted grid meant that Mendonca had to start third. He eventually moved up to second, ahead of Gonzalves but failed to catch Elliot Vieira.
