“After our second fly-away mission this season, we only had a few days to turn the cars around in order to prepare them and ship them to Tassie. We did sustain a bit of damage in Bahrain so the shop has been flat-out. All of us enjoy the Tasmanian adventure. The track is exciting and totally different to the Sakhir GP circuit. Looking at the history of our cars at Symmons I think we will have a very competitive weekend.” &n....
The second fly-away event for the season was action packed and at times difficult for Cameron McConvile and WOW Racing. This Round challenged each of the 6 Holdens from the Walkinshaw Performance stable. None of the cars truly found the “sweet-spot” in terms of chassis set-up on this tyre sensitive, low-grip circuit.
Cameron McConville and WOW Racing staged a strong recovery on the second day of track activity today at Bahrain International Circuit in Qualifying and Race 1 of 3.
Cam’s Qualifying run yielded only 21st, however, a strong run in Race 1 produced a 13th and some solid points after an action-packed event. It also places the WOW Commodore back in touch with the key cars on the grid for tomorrow’s Race 2.
The V8 Supercar Championship circus has relocated to the Middle East this weekend for the second fly-away event of 2008. In warm conditions, under clear, hazy skies, WOW Racing resumed the Championship battle using today’s 3 part Practice session as a comprehensive test to explore various set-up options for the Bahrain International Circuit (BIC). Surrounded by desert, the BIC has a quite unique requirement to make the cars function well in very abrasive, low-grip conditions, which i....
It’s a long trip to Bahrain and it is the most interesting and exotic of all the event locations. History shows this track has not been a happy hunting ground for Holdens for some unusual reason and this will be our first race at B.I.C. with the Commodores so we’re planning to turn that fact around. The WOW car has shown consistent strong race pace over the past two events so we’re looking forward to the Middle East adventure.” ....
Cameron McConville and WOW Racing had a difficult run on final day of track activity today. Cam had an unfortunate incident in Race 2 making contact with the Turn 2 wall and in Race 3 the car was sidelined with an odd electrical problem.

“Historically our Team has enjoyed big achievements on street circuits.
The boys have generated some great results in Adelaide (Clipsal 500), Melbourne (AGP) and Hamilton (NZ) all on street circuits. Cameron consistently finished in the Top 10 and Andrew in the Top 15. We’re all working together to ensure Andrew can deliver a strong result after two tough events. Certainly both drivers are hungry and keen to succeed. After showing encouraging pace up at Bathurst we’re all still gl....
Max Wilson and Brad Jones drove a tough, fast race to finish a brilliant 5th after fighting near the front of the field all day in the Supercheap Auto Bathurst 1000.
At one point Wilson led the race and the duo were highly competitive and highly visible from the moment the race commenced at 10.30 AEST.
Kim Jones, Co-Owner:
“Everyone here did a fantastic job today. Finishing 5th is a wonderful reward. The Great Race lived up it’s reputation. As usual....
