Phillip Island Grand Prix Circuit – Round 1 Australian Manufacturers Championship

Wilson Brothers Racing has started the first round of the 2008 Australian Manufacturers Championship off strongly, with both of their Subaru WRX Stis placed within the top four.

Lee Castle, in only his fourth circuit race meeting and first at Phillip Island, topped the time sheets in the second practice session, and followed up with a second quickest in practice three.
 

Brian Smallwood in the second Wilson Brothers Racing entry improved markedly throughout the day to finish a strong fourth for the day in the final session.

The day was a tough one for all competitors, with regular rain squalls ripping over the Phillip Island circuit, giving crews plenty to think about between sessions.

Team principal Cameron Wilson was pleased with the progress of the team on the opening day of the championship.

“To have Lee post the quickest time in the second session was a real confidence boost for the team, as it was Lee’s first time on this very difficult circuit in very tricky conditions,” said Wilson.

“Brian meanwhile has really knuckled down as the day has progressed, and looking at the data from his car, he should be right on the pace come qualifying tomorrow.”

A fourth practice session will be followed by qualifying tomorrow, with the opening one hour race with a compulsory pit stop with two tyre changes to be held at 4pm.
