Team Suzuki's Brodie Waters won on debut in the Prostock ranks at Barbagallo Raceway.

Team Suzuki rider Brodie Waters celebrated his 19th birthday in the best way possible by claiming pole position, overall victory and a new lap record aboard his Suzuki GSX-R1000 in his Prostock debut at Perth’s Barbagallo Raceway last weekend.

Waters, competing in the Prostock Challenge run in conjunction with the Australian Superbike Championship class, won both 15-lap races at a circuit he’d never raced at before, giving the Team Suzuki GSX-R1000 a debut win in the category and Waters a first-up win at the circuit.

“Two race wins and pole position is a great result for first time on the new bike at a circuit I’ve never raced at before,” the Supersport regular said.

“We didn’t get a chance to do any testing beforehand with the Prostock GSX-R1000, but the bike was great straight out of the box. I’m looking forward to the rest of the ‘two-plus-four’ meetings at tracks I’ve raced at previously.

“The Barbagallo circuit is awesome – technical in the first part and then two long straights.”

Team Suzuki manager Phil Tainton was pleased with Waters’ progress in his first time aboard the 1000.

“It’s been a great weekend for Brodie in the Prostock class with the round win, pole position and a new lap record,” Tainton said. “We didn’t get an opportunity to test before this meeting, so it shows how good the Suzuki GSX-R1000 is straight out of the crate.”

The Australian Superbike Championship next heads to Queensland Raceway at Ipswich on 3-5 June for round five in the eight-round series.
