Some drivers opted to pull into the pits for wet tyres before the start of the race, whilst others gambled on the rain dissipating and track drying up. However, even before the first lap was finished, the drivers on wet tyres had overtaken most of the pack. Soon, everyone was struggling in the tricky conditions, with drivers such as Mark Skaife spinning off the circuit. Though, whilst plagued by the spin, Skaife began to charge up the field and soon found himself bearing down on race leader, Glenn Seton. However, it was not enough and Glenn Seton had won his first race of the 1994 season with Skaife in second and Alan Jones in third. Pos.
