Australian Jono Lester has driven lots of challenging racing cars—from Supras to Porsche GT3 Cups—and it clearly shows. This legend threads his car through a field of well-driven cars like a lonely cat woman threads her crochet needle. A cat woman whose only meaningful relationship, aside from the one with Mittens, has been with said needle. In other words, Lester’s spent most of his adult life behind the wheel of a racing car, and he wears this Ferrari like a second skin—or perhaps a second sweater.

GT cars aren’t narrow, and getting one around a walled street course like Adelaide is tough when there isn’t a horde of bulky GTs running alongside. This is because the driver needs to take into consideration the slick nature of a street course. Since they’re used for public transport most of the year, they’re naturally less adhesive than a purpose-built circuit. They’re also just plain narrow, and two widebodied GT cars will have to suck in their guts if they intend to go two-abreast through a corner.

Lester muscles by an Audi in a game of semi-gentlemanly chicken.

Perhaps that’s too dramatic, but it’s easy to see how a well-telegraphed overtake can turn into a very expensive wreck—see the miss with the Camaro at 0:44, where Lester’s given the option between the back of the Chevy or the wall. He nearly smacks the Chevy’s backside again—likely pissed off—seconds later, but makes a good use of traffic at 1:14 and gets around the Camaro and the Ferrari which boxed it out. Opportunism at its finest.

Sometimes, Lester is braver on the brakes or better at putting the power down, but as he makes his way through the mid-fielders, he has to contend with some quick and aggressive guys who bump and shove to keep their position. Thankfully, Lester’s got more than enough aggression and a good sense of timing—good enough to finish fifth after a masterclass of street course passing.
