Position: 18th Points : 1090 pts
Overview:
Cameron McConville and WOW Racing endured a character building weekend on the Gold Coast. The Team got off to a strong start in Practice and early Qualifying but a series of little issues conspired to frustrate the Team's Queensland campaign. Cam brushed the Turn 5 wall in Qualifying and the Turn 2 wall in Race 2 plus an odd electrical problem stopped the car in Race 3.
Cameron McConville
"Looking back over the weekend the Qualifying error at Turn 5 really hurt. Once you lose track position things can go downhill too easily. The Race 3 problem was a shame but I'm really encouraged by the pace in the car though so I'm certain more great results are within our grasp."
Racing Summary
Practice - P17
The great form from Bathurst carried forward. The car was strong right out of the transporter.
Qualifying - P14
Cam and Team thought a Top Ten outcome was on. Unfortunately a small error at Turn 5 resulted in clipping a concrete barrier and damaging steering.
Race 1 - P14
The first race produced a vigorous battle with Mark Skaife and a solid start to the weekend.
Race 2 - P22
Another good start and this time a great battle with James Courtney and Will Davison. However, too much pace into the Turn 2 chicane sent the WOW Racing Commodore into the wall on the outside.
Race 3 - DNF
The car had excellent car pace but passing was impossible. Oddly an electrical problem shut the car down at Turn 8.
