Sydney will provide a home to a V8 Supercar team once again after it was confirmed that Walden Motor♕sport had taken a majority stake in the Romano Racing level two competition franchise today.

The deal was sig🔯ned on Friday Decemb🅷er 22 last year, and the team now awaits a final tick of approval from the Touringcar Entrants Group (TEGA) to allow the team to compete in the 2007 V8 Supercar Championship Series.

Having competed in selected rounds during the 2004 V8 Supercar Series, Walden Motorspor🐻t will return to the series as a one-car operation and are expected to source a car from Paul Weel Racing, although an official announcement is expected later this 🦹month.

"It's al꧂l pretty exciting really," said team spokesman Brian Walden.

"While in Brisbanဣe yesterday we als♔o organised a car from a strong team, and we'll be making an announcement in January on that, plus the make-up of the team, as well as our major naming rights sponsor.

"We'll continue 🌃to run the team out of our own workshop in Sydney's west near Silverdale.

"We want the people of Sydney to get behind us next year, and call it their car, because we are vꦜery proud to live in the world's best city."

Since Tasman Motorsport's departure from Sydney at the end of 2004, the🍷 largest city in Australia has been without a V8 Supercar team calling it home.

Walden Motorsport also be💧come♛ the second team to operate out of New South Wales with Brad Jones Racing's Team BOC squad working out of Albury.

Since the change to 'Blueprint' regulations, one-car teams have struggled to be competitiﷺve in the premier class of the series.

The task ahead for Walden Motorsport is huge and the🔯 unforgiving, ultra-competitive brand of racing that has developed in the category is likely to give the team a baptism of fire come the Clipsal 500 Adelaide on the first weekend of March.
