The technical hardpack circuit of Queensland Moto Park played host to round seven of the 2023 Penrite ProMX Championship, presented by AMX Superstores, with the Scenic Rim region of the Sunshine State providing motocross fans with action packed racing across the event.

Brisbane Motorcycles Yamaha rider Dean Ferris proved to be the class of the field in the Thor MX1 category, while KTM Racing Team’s Nathan Crawford outlasted the opposition in the Pirelli MX2 class, and GYTR Yamaha Junior Racing’s Jake Cannon took top honours in the MAXXIS MX3 class. In the EZILIFT MXW Class, Taylor Thompson raced to the top spot to secure her first overall for the year.

QualifyingThe pressure was mounting atop the Thor MX1 Class, as the nation’s top riders entered the sunny QMP round looking to assert their dominance as the championship enters its final stages.

After a perfect Toowoomba round from Brisbane Motorcycles Yamaha’s Dean Ferris, the competition needed to bring a halt to the former three-time class champion’s momentum, and series rival Jed Beaton (Boost Mobile Honda Racing) would do just that as he topped the AMX Top 10 Pole Shootout timesheets to open the event.

CDR Yamaha Monster Energy rider Aaron Tanti would qualify in second position, followed by the second Boost Mobile Honda Racing rider Kyle Webster in third. KTM Racing Team’s Kirk Gibbs posted the fourth fastest time, whilst championship leader Ferris rounded out the top five.

All eyes were on the gate drop of the opening Thor MX1 moto, and the sight of Ferris launching out of the gates for the holeshot spelled problems for the rest of the field. The points leader would stretch out an 11.6 second margin on second place Beaton by races end, adding to his blistering form of late. Webster rounded out the podium in third place, while series veteran Brett Metcalfe (Penrite GO24 KTM) took fourth ahead of Tanti in P5.

The second moto belonged once again to Ferris, as he overcame an early race fall to make passes on all the main contenders, posting another statement ride as he enters Coolum in hot form. Webster rallied to second place, followed by Beaton in third. Fourth belonged to Gibbs, who finished ahead of Metcalfe in fifth.

With his QMP victory, Ferris extends his championship lead to 15 over Beaton, as Gibbs sits 49 in arrears as the series heads to Coolum for the final round.
