WPS/WOW Racing has again showed its strong form in wet conditions by earning its best
result for the season in the Jim Beam 400 at Oran Park Raceway in Sydney, New South
Wales today.

Max Wilson drove the #8 WOW Racing Falcon to 13th overall at Oran Park, scoring the
team’s best collection of points for the season with 15 from the eighth round of the
V8 Supercar Championship Series.

Jason Bargwanna was also in the points today, coming back from a disastrous Race 2 to
finish 21st overall for the round and bring home six valuable championship points.
With a total of 21 points for the round, Oran Park is also the best team result for
WPS/WOW Racing in terms of points this season.

After Bargwanna and Wilson were 15th and 16th respectively in Saturday’s opening
race, Wilson capitalised on a good pit strategy to finish 11th in Race 2 on Sunday
morning. The Brazilian ran long on his first stint before pitting on lap 31 of the
46-lap race.

Bargwanna was on-track for a similar result in the points in Race 2 until contact
with Shane Van Gisbergen at Turn 3 pushed bodywork onto the front left tyre.
Bargwanna was all the way alongside entering the corner, but the young Kiwi turned in
and made contact with Bargwanna, the resulting damage cutting Bargwanna’s front left
tyre leaving the former Bathurst champion no option but to make an additional pit
stop for a new tyre and panel repairs.

Race 3 saw a great recovery from Bargwanna, coming from his Race 2 finishing position
of 27th to climb up the order to grab 13th place. It could have been even better for
Bargwanna, but for race leader Lee Holdsworth rejoining the circuit just ahead of him
after a pit stop. When a Safety Car was soon called onto the circuit it meant that
Bargwanna was trapped a lap down.

Bargwanna persevered, racing with Craig Lowndes and Greg Murphy for 13th position
over the final laps. Lowndes briefly passed Bargwanna but such was the pace of the
#10 WPS Racing Falcon in the wet conditions that Bargwanna made a sensational move to
get back past Lowndes and pull away to secure 13th place, the first car home one lap
down.

Wilson meanwhile drove a smart race and completed his pit stop under Safety Car on
lap 24. Returning to the track as one of the final cars still on the lead lap, Wilson
then moved his way forward and despite a spin in the late stages after being clipped
by another car, the #8 WOW Racing Falcon drove home in eighth position.

The result in Race 3 can also be attributed to some quick thinking from the WPS/WOW
Racing crew, who called both cars into the pit lane just before the start of the race
to switch the two cars to wet weather tyres as rain began to fall as the race was set
to begin.

Lee Holdsworth won today’s Jim Beam 400 ahead of Steven Richards and Craig Lowndes,
while Garth Tander maintains the championship lead.

The next round of the 2007 V8 Supercar Championship Series will see the first
endurance race of the season with the Just Cars Insurance 500 at Sandown
International Raceway in Melbourne, Victoria on September 14-16.
