“The guys in the crew have been doing a good job preparing the cars in between rounds and have also been exceptional in their pit stops during the races. This has provided both Max and Jason a good opportunity to move closer to the front of the pack.”
Certainly, WPS Racing has improved its championship position with Wilson and Bargwanna. Both sit inside the top twenty heading into their home round of the championship, and are expected to perform well in their Cosworth V8-powered Fords.
“We’ve really made some big steps forward over the past couple of months which was highlighted by a very successful test last week,” said driver Max Wilson.
“Throughout the day the WPS Racing Falcon reacted well to the changes we made to the set up and continually moved forwards. The times I set were very competitive with those set by my competitors, which included almost every Queensland based driver, who were testing on the same day.”
Bargwanna was also positive on the development made by the team before their home round this weekend.
“All year we have been testing on the run during the rounds so last week’s test day provided us with an opportunity to really focus on specific areas which needed improving. I think we accomplished many of the goals we set out to achieve,” he said.
“Like Max, my car also reacted well the changes we made throughout the day which gives me some confidence and a clear focus leading into this weekend’s round.”
With former drivers David Besnard and Craig Baird returning for the endurance races later this year, WPS Racing is sure to continue it improvement towards the front of the field. Whilst a championship this year, Gore’s target year to be consistently challenging at the front, the two Black and Silver Falcons are sure to be top ten contenders.
