THE FACTS ON TIM & BARBAGALLO
- Tim raced here in 2013 with DJR and in 2015 with LDM. He went from 21st to 12th in the Sunday race. It was his equal best solo race result of the season.
- Out of 81 ATCC/V8SC races, 39 of the winners have started from pole position! No driver has ever won an ATCC/V8SC race in Barbagallo from 8th or 9th on the grid.
- Tim also has Dunlop Series & Formula Ford history at Barbagallo. He finished 2nd in the 2007 Formula Ford round to James Moffat (the year he won the championship) and was 5th in 2006. In the Dunlop Series he was 10th overall in 2011 for MW motorsport in ex-FPR BF Falcon and 5th for them in 2012.
- The smallest grid of starters for an ATCC race at the circuit was 9. There were just nine cars on the grid for Race 2 in 1980. That race was also the last win for a Torana in ATCC history – Allan Grice in his Craven mild LX SS.
