Rovanpera took to social media on Friday morning to confirm he would not take part in practice nor the afternoon’s race. An additional race was added to Friday’s schedule to make up for Race 3 at Teretonga being cancelled due to rain. The 25-year-old scored his first podium in Race 1 before finishing fifth in Race 2 and seventh in Race 4. Friday’s race at Highlands Motorsport Park is scheduled for 3:20pm AEDT. James Wharton and wildcard Liam Sceats will not contest Friday’s race having not been part of the Teretonga weekend.
