Despite a tough battle in Friday’s qualifying round, when Walker’s times placed him 14th on the grid for the first of two races which followed immediately afterwards, from the start he determined to pick off drivers in front of him.
After a tricky start and accelerating through tricky corners on the Autodromo circuit, be halfway through the race he had moved up into tenth place.
When fellow drivers Move, Sabatino and Turvey had a coming-together which slowed all three down, Walker simply eased past the three of them, thereby moving up three places in one fluid movement.
