RACE
PREVIEW:
- AUSSIES
DO BATTLE IN APPLE ISLE DECIDER
- The 2005
WPS Aussie Racing Cars Series will go down to the wire with the Grand
Final at Tasmania’s Symmons Plains Raceway this weekend.
- After one
of the most exciting years in Aussie Racing Cars history the battle
for series supremacy has come down to three main contenders Tim Monte,
Sheridan Phillips and William Yarwood.
- On form you
would have to say that Westpoint’s Monte is in the box seat, after
all he has won the most rounds this year and climbed his way back to
the top after a disastrous first round in Adelaide. He also leads the
series by five points over Pennzoil’s Phillips, with Speedy Wheels’
Yarwood just two points behind in third place.
- Series aside
there will be more than three serious contenders for the round win.
VIP Petfoods’ Paul Kemal will be looking to take a hat-trick of
round wins after blistering pace at both Sandown and Surfers Paradise,
as well as trying to break into the top five in the series points.
- Both Yokohama
drivers Brad and James Ward, who are currently sitting fourth and fifth
in the series will be hoping to secure those positions and maybe, in
the case of misfortune for any of the top three, move up the series
points.
- Disappointed
after their Surfers Paradise coming together, Simon Arthur and Colin
Sieders will be looking for that elusive round win after coming so close
in recent rounds.
- Shane Wolki
currently leads the Master Cup points by 25 points over Mark Duckworth.
While Wolki looks set to take the series win he will face stiff competition
from Duckworth who has won two rounds of the series himself.
- Series
points calculations:
- Monte needs
only be less than six places behind Phillips and less than nine places
behind Yarwood to win the series.
- Phillips
must beat Monte by at least six places and be no more than two places
behind Yarwood to win the series.
- Yarwood
needs to beat Monte by at least nine places and Phillips by at least
two places to take series glory.
