DISAPPOINTING END TO RACE 5 FOR THE SHELL V-POWER RACING TEAM

April 1, 2023

Anton De Pasquale – No. 11 Shell V-Power Racing Ford Mustang GT
Qualifying Race 5 – 4th (Fastest Time: 2m03.0943s)
Qualifying Race 6 – 17TH (Fastest Time: 1m49.2683s)
Race 5 – NC (Fastest Time: 1m58.2125s)

Qualifying Race 5 – 6TH (Fastest Time: 2m03.4831)
Qualifying Race 6  – 7th (Fastest Time: 1m48.5849s)
Race 5 – 11th (Fastest Time: 1m47.9528)

A disappointing end to Race 5 saw De Pasquale, No.11 unable to finish due to an incident on Lap 2. The damage is repairable with the team now looking forward to Race 6. Davison, in the No.17 Shell V-Power Mustang, moved up the field 4 places from P6 to P2, however, after a late race penalty finished Race 5 in P11.

DE PASQUALE QUOTE
“Disappointing race, it’s definitely not what we wanted but now we just try again tomorrow.”

W. DAVISON QUOTE
“Obviously gutted to get the penalty in the pits, it was nice to have a good race in the front. Everything was going well, we executed everything well except for the pit exit merge. Pretty gutted, it was a very tricky set of circumstances. We know the rules and unfortunately, it was a bit late when I knew Fulwood was there. So, I’m just very disappointed for our team. There were a lot of positives to take out of today, but we will keep knuckling down.”
