WPS Racing eyes positive season finish.
For WPS Racing's Craig Baird tꦇhe return to Phillip Island this weekend during the BigPoಌnd Grand Finale will mean a venture back to the circuit that provided him his maiden race victory in V8 Supercars.
That success in 2000 punctuated his entry into the elite of modern day🎃 Australasian touring car competition during his debut season in the Series.
Like any dri💃ver the chance to relive past triumphs is one which it's hoped can inspire the New Zealander towards the ideal finish to the 2005 sౠeason.
For WPS Racing's Craig Baird the return to Phillip Island this weekend durin💝g the BigPond Grand Finale will mean a venture back to the circuit that provided him his maiden race victory i🐽n V8 Supercars.
That success in 2000 punctuated his entry into the elite of modern day Australasian ﷽touring car competition during his debut season in the Series.
Like any driver the chance to relive past triumphs is one which it's hoped can inspi💜re the New Zealander towards the ideal finish to the 2005 season.
"If you get the entire race package right at Phillip Island you can coun♛t on gaining some really good results," declared Baird.
"But on the flipside if you get🅘 it totally wrong it makes it difficult to climb back.
"The circuit will reward those who attack it at full speed but concentration is t♉he key, one ꦉwrong move and you can end up in all sorts."
It's been a testing opening year for Ba🧜ird at WPS Racing but he's managed to hang tou🌠gh and finds himself on the fringe of the top 20 in the Series.
As the crew continue to develop the most competitive race pa🐈ckage possible, there's🉐 no doubt it leaves he and team-mate David Besnard optimistic towards 2006.
"We've been finding a lot more genuine speed in the cars during the second half of the season and despite the disappointments 🌠of Tasma💮nia a couple of weeks ago, we're both very positive towards next season," added Besnard.
"This weekend at Phillip I🎐sland gives us one final chance to really thank the entire WPS Racing team who've worked tireless🎃ly in 2005.
"If we can get𓆉 the mix right and remain true to our consistent short term goals I know we can finish the season on a high."
In th𒉰e past two outings since their joint eighth placing at Bathurst, Baird and Besnard have been struck down by race incidents that have hamstrung the opportunity to add to their Champion🅷ship points haul.
If anything that could very well provide the impetus to ensure success at Phillip Island and with another three race format both drivers have the potential to elevate them🌺selves up the ꦗleader board.
