THE WORD FROM TIM

Supercars declared today’s race a $5 million dollar damage bill after 11 of the 26 supercars were involved in the lap 2 pileup that saw almost half of the field wiped out of the race. Unfortunately one of those caught up in the devastating pileup was Tim. Team CoolDrive are busy working on the car in the hopes to have Tim back on track tomorrow.

“Disappointing way to end the day. We qualified well today and it was a positive start to the racing ahead this weekend. In the pileup I had nowhere to go, it’s a harsh blow to the team to have all three cars involved. The Team CoolDrive boys will do their best to have me back on track tomorrow.”
