Trengove Wants to Win on Home Soil

Round 5 of the Australian Driver’s Championship heads to the South Australian circuit at Mallala Raceway, where the nations fastest young-guns are preparing for the fiercest battle yet.

There are 5 drivers who can win this years coveted Gold Star Award and amongst them is local driver Paul Trengove, racing at the circuit for the first time since he raced in Formula Vee.

Trengove is situated in 4^th place, only 1 point behind 2^nd position and within striking distance of New Zealand’s Nelson Hartley, who leads this year’s Championship. Having missed Round 1, the CPA Australia team has so far performed very consistently, finishing on the podium at every event they have competed in.

“It has been very tough coming from a long way behind in the Championship, but the CPA Australia team have done a great job in making this car fast and reliable whilst I was still finding my feet.”

“We proved we had good speed at Winton and we got quicker in every session. Mallala is a track that I know best and it’s the first time I’ve raced there in a car this big and powerful. I’d really love to have my first race win on home soil and get closer to the front of the Championship.”

The CPA Australia team tested last Tuesday and put in some competitive times on some very old tyres.

The team will hit the track on Friday 29^th August for first practice, Saturday for Qualifying and will race twice on Sunday.
