WPS/WOW Racing
Team's Championship: 9th (-1)
Car #8 – BF Falcon – Max Wilson (BRZ)
Championship position: 17th (-2)
Best round result: 7th
Best race result: 7th
2007 was a tough year for Max Wilson, with several retirements impeding consistent performances at most events.
Despite this, the Brazilian displayed good speed throughout the year as WPS Racing improved their car package.
He finished seventh at Bathurst with team-mate Jason Bargwanna – a fitting finish for one of the most experienced driver combination in the race paddock.
The 2008 championship looks promising for Wilson, but his speed will only benefit if the team is able to improve their performance. With ex-FPR Falcons rumoured to be on the WPS/WOW shopping list – it is entirely possible that Wilson could finish close to the top ten.

Car #10 – BF Falcon – Jason Bargwanna (NSW)
Championship position: 18th (-4)
Best round result: 7th
Best race result: 7th
Jason Bargwanna finished eighteenth in the championship – just a solitary point behind his team-mate.
And his performance throughout the 2007 series was essentially a carbon copy of Wilson – similar race results, similar car reliability and identical car speed – Bargwanna produced as much speed possible from his old WPS Falcon.
Despite dropping four places on his 2006 performance, his top ten race performances at Mount Panorama and Surfers Paradise were high points in his campaign, and the former Bathurst winner will be looking to move up the championship table in 2008.
