Matt Turvey

Redline #5 - Standard Saloon

Matt’s Back!

8/1/2008

Matt Turvey and the Precision Engines Team headed to Laang Speedway on Sunday December 30^th for their first race meeting in 18 months after missing all of last season. Matt was debuting his brand new Precision Engines, Holden VK Commodore and his main aim for the night was to keep the car straight.

Matt started his Redline #5 Commodore from position six in heat one, on a track that had just been watered. Matt struggled to adjust to the wet track and slipped back to seventh place on lap two with the car unable to hold traction. Midway through the heat, the Laang #86 car spun in turn four, leaving Matt with nowhere to go. The resulting contact damaged some panels on the left hand side, but nothing that would stop them competing for the rest of the night. Matt finished heat one in sixth position.

In heat two Matt started out of position three, and by the end of lap one was in position four behind Mark Wilde in the Stawell #26 Commodore. On lap two Matt was forced to take evasive action to avoid a sideways Wilde and drove through the infield maintaining his fourth position. Matt made a number of unsuccessful attempts at passing Wilde in the last few laps, finishing in fourth.

In heat three Matt started in position two outside Ballarat #42. But by turn three on the first lap Matt had the lead and he wouldn’t relinquish it. Pulling further away as the race went on, Matt went on the win by a quarter of a lap. Along the way though, the Redline #5 car spat out a plug, causing an oil leak. This, coupled with a rocker cover gasket leak, ended Matt’s night.

It was a positive night for the Precision Engines Team, with heat three being the highlight. They learnt a few things about the car and hope to take them into their next meeting.
