Video of the 2013 Alcoa Mandurah Duel Race

Here is the video of Sunday's Alcoa Mandurah Duel race,  not the classic downwind race that Mandurah is famous for, rather it was overcast and flat, but it still produced some fantastic racing with Jasper Mocke winning to defend his tittle in another great duel all the way to the line.
