Seven straight for FPR
20/5/2012
Ford Performance Racing has claimed its seventh-straight win after Will Davison rebounded from yesterday’s accident to claim victory at Phillip Island.
The win was secured despite a number of safety car periods erasing the substantial lead he built up early in the race.
Davison’s win moves him back into the series lead and also gives FPR its third consecutive clean-sweep following victories in New Zealand and Perth.
FPR dominates the West
Will Davison bounced back from yesterday’s disappointing result to win both races today and arguably one of the most exciting last lap battles in recent V8 Supercars history to secure FPR its third 1-2 finish this year. Team-mate Mark Winterbottom continued his fine form by finishing third and second respectively in today’s two races to add to his race seven win yesterday. This weekend’s event proved a pure spectacle for racing fans with the mixed tyre-compound, race format spicing-up proceedings and producing one of the greatest shows in V8 Supercars history. With Davison striding ahead on the soft tyre after an early pit stop in race nine due to a safety car, Winterbottom and Whincup began hunting the Tradingpost Ford down as the soft tyre degraded late in the race.

The record-breaking run began in the opening round of the 2002 series in Monte Carlo. At least one of the team’s nominated drivers has finished in a points-scoring position in every round since. Ford and rally partner M-Sport celebrated the achievement at the finish ceremony of this fifth round of the 2012 championship in Carlos Paz yesterday afternoon. Ford Racing senior manager Gerard Quinn and Ford World Rally Team director Malcolm Wilson joined Solberg and Patterson in front of their Fiesta RS World Rally Car as they took the applause of the huge crowds. |
