Felix Serralles of Puerto Rico has taken his first win of the 2012 Toyota Racing Series, winning this morning's 12 lap sprint ahead of a charging Mitch Evans. Championship leader Nick Cassidy of Auckland held onto fifth place to seal his championship win. Serralles led off pole, with Evans forging through to be second, and a torrid battle ensued, serralles holding off Evans lap after lap with a .4 second advantage.
Series challenger Hannes van Asseldonk went out with a flat tyre after making contact with Josh Hill and Lucas Auer, ending any hope he had of eroding Cassidy's points advantage.
Evans posted fastest lap, a 1:04.477, outside the existing race lap record.
