Simpson/Pollicina APC Championship with 6hr Victory
Ryan Simpson and Jim Pollicina have taken themselves from fourth on the outright and A1 standings to first to claim the championship trophies with a convincing victory in the Phillip Island Six Hour.
“We did everything we could, got the car prepared properly and just did our part. Everyone pulled it together and we did what we needed to do and the other car did what it needed to do and we won the championship.” said Simpson.
Pollicina and Simpson’s #7 MoComm Motorsports Communications Lotus Exige was in-form all weekend.
“We had a pretty determined strategy as to what we were going to do with the tyres and the driving stints and we stuck to it all the way through. We were conservative on the tyres, we drove the car straight and kept it off the ripple strips. We looked after it when we needed to look after it and Ryan went fast when we needed him to go fast and we drove within the car’s ability instead of just going out there and tearing up gear. It was a strategic race for us and the taste of champagne is amazing.” said Pollicina.
Well done to Ryan & Jim on a great year as well as Dean Lillie at Ravage Raceworks and his crew on preparing a title winning car!
