PHILLIP ISLAND PRODUCES THE BEST RACE EVER!
29 nOVEMBER 2009

Race 1 of the Aussie Racing Cars at Phillip Island yesterday has been branded as the ‘best ever’. The combination of the fast, flowing circuit, and the ’Bathurst’  aero kits provided racing that left the drivers, crew and officials in awe.
Here’s what some of them had to say:

Ian Mayberry – CAMS Race Director
“Everyone in the tower thought Race 1 was the best they had ever seen.”

David Catchpole – PI Circuit Manager
“Race 1 is what action is all about, four cars into Siberia is something I have never seen at Phillip Island before.”

Andrew Simmons – Father of Nick Simmons FW1 Racing
“Nick is very excited to be back in the Aussie Racing Cars after racing Formula Ford this year. He is thrilled about how close and clean the racing is. We have had a couple of gremlins in the car today but the boys have sorted them out and we expect to be up the front tomorrow.”

Adam Gowans – Gowans Toyota Aurion
“The track is just amazing and the Aurion is sensational on the fast corners, I love it.”

Kyle Clews – Australec Commodore
“I think that Race 1 was the best I have ever been in, I was first one lap and then eighth the next and had to fight back to the front again – it was awesome.”

Maurice Masini  - M&M Civil Racing
“The track is just unbelievable and my car is incredible to drive around here. It is great to have Darrin (brother) in his 40 Ford up the front as well.”

Garry Jacobson – CAMS Young Gun
“Winning a race in the highlight of my year and doing it at Phillip Island is the highlight of my life!”

Michael Hovey – QK Technologies Aurion
“Racing and sponsoring the round at this track has been a wonderful experience. This is the best circuit in Australia and I can’t believe the grip generated by the Bathurst wings. Approaching turn 1 at 230km/h is just mind blowing.”

Phil Ward – Category Manager
“It’s been 15 years since I have been to Phillip Island and I can’t begin to explain how impressed I am with the presentation of the facility. The pits are F1 standard and the track is incredibly thrilling to race on. We can’t wait to return.”
