CHARGING CRICK WINS AT EASTERN CREEK

Tasmanian motor racing great Greg Crick has produced one of the best drives of his career to win race one in Round Three of the Australian GTP Championship at Eastern Creek in Sydney today.

Crick qualified second but was forced to start last with Kevin Weeks and 2010 Champion David Wall after a timing mishap.

But this only fired up the Tasmanian who charged from last place to win the one hour race in his Dodge Viper GT3 by two seconds from Wall and Peter Hackett in his brand new Mercedes SLS GT3.

Crick said “this is undoubtedly one of the best and most satisfying races in my career, the car was brilliant today, the best it’s ever been”.

He added “the team has worked so hard on developing the car, so it’s great to record our first win for them, a great day for us and our major sponsor Chrysler Jeep, one we will never forget”. Don't Hold Back.

The win was also a first for the famous jeep brand, the company’s first win as a major sponsor of an Australian circuit racing team since 1974.

Crick said “it’s a great result for the team, their support has been fantastic and it’s great to return their support with a win in such a fashion as we did today, and the car was brilliant”. The Tasmanian will start from pole position for tomorrow’s second race, which will also be a one hour battle with a compulsory pitstop.

Crick said “tomorrow is another day, we made great inroads on a number of fronts today, and I hope we can continue our push forward in the championship tomorrow, I know the team and I will be fired up, that’s for sure”.
