The final race in Round 2 of the 2012 Dunlop Series for V8 Supercars has rewarded Tim Blanchard with a fighting 5th place in Perth today. The Jaylec Automotive Electrical Falcon FG bogged down slightly at the start and was side swiped by Daniel Jilesen's Ford. Luckily with no damage Blanchard finished lap 1 in 7th place as the Safety Car was deployed. A final corner accident between Percat & Zukanovic meant 4 laps behind the Safety Car.
Once the green light came on racing resumed and Tim quickly disposed of Rod Jane & Ash Walsh to move up to fifth. The battle ahead between Mostert & Youlden was allowing Blanchard to close in and the #27 Jaylec Falcon was again showing good race pace.
