ASSAILLIT WINS AT WINTON
Round 2 of the Fujitsu V8 supercar series at Victoria’s Winton raceway began in great style for the Fujitsu Ford of Damian Assaillit. The two practice sessions on Friday had Assaillit consistently at the top of the time sheets on old tyres.
The Mathew White team made some small set up changes to the Fujitsu car for qualifying, which saw Assaillit grab fourth spot on the grid for race 1.
Assaillit was full of confidence as the cars gridded up for Race 1. An excellent start saw the Fujitsu Ford move up into 3rd at the first turn. James Moffat at the head of the pack appeared to be driving away, however Assaillit and his team mate Jonathon Webb began closing in on lap 3. Webb attempted to pass Moffat on several occasions, but wasn’t able to gain the lead. Then on lap 5, Assaillit made a brilliant move on Webb into turn 3 to take 2nd. On the very next lap the bright green Fujitsu car of Assaillit’s out braked Moffat into turn 1, taking the lead. From that point Assaillit drove away to win his first V8 Supercar race. In doing so, he set the fastest lap of the race. read more

Gallant Podium Result for MW Motorsport and Webb:
It certainly wasn’t the most ideal of starts for Matthew White Racing (MWR) driver Jonathon Webb during the opening round of the 2009 Fujitsu V8 Supercar Development Series on the streets of Adelaide in South Australia over the weekend but he managed a great fight back to finish on the podium.
After trouble free runs aboard the # 26 Gulf Western Oil supported BF Ford Falcon in both practice sessions, Webb was hampered by power steering issues during the qualifying session and it only allowed him to post a handful of clean laps but it still resulted in him ending up an impressive third quickest... read more
