Ash Walsh Scores Another Top 10 in Dunlop Series

The third race of Round 2 of the 2012 Dunlop Series for V8 Supercars has rewarded Ash Walsh with another top 10 result. The simPRO Falcon driver has backed up strong results in the first two races to finish in 6th place today. The start to the season has been outstanding for Walsh and the Matt Stone Racing team with Ash in the top 10 in every race run so far this year.

Walsh started the final race today from position 3 but was shuffled back by a wild and woolly start with cars 4 wide into turn 1. The Safety Car was out quickly after an accident between Percat & Zukanovic at the final turn. Once racing resumed Ash had a good battle with Tim Blanchard finally losing a position at Kolb Conner on lap 8. The balance of the race was run without incident however Walsh’s Falcon was not lapping as quickly as he had hoped. A closing David Russell finally pushed Ash back to position 7 with only 3 laps to run. The simPRO Falcon crossed the line to record a fine overall result for the weekend and place Walsh in a strong sixth place in the Championship just one point behind Scott Pye.

“A good qualifying result really set us up for the weekend. I was a bit disappointed with today’s result but we can take a lot of positives form the weekend.” Ash said. Focusing on race 3, Ash said “I think we probably over pressured the tyres a bit as they were a lot slower. It didn’t feel great but I am really pleased for the whole MSR Team. Another Top 10 and a lot of points is a great reward for everyone.” Ash concluded.

Ash Walsh Captures First Dunlop Series Top 3 in Perth

Ash Walsh scored his first Top 3 V8 Supercar result at Barbagallo Raceway in Perth with a superb 2nd place in race 1. In wet and treacherous conditions Walsh did not put a foot wrong in the #87 simPRO BF Falcon and delivered not only his but Matt Stone Racing’s first top 3 result.

The good form started in Qualifying when Walsh vaulted up to P1 on the time sheets with only 5 minutes to go. With a red flag near the end of the session, Walsh had used the best of his tyres and along with other front runners waited nervously in the pits with his MSR crew. Only Scott Pye in the T888 Commodore went quicker and Ash lined up on the front row of the grid for Race 1.

Ash Walsh Continues Good Form in Wet Perth Practice

simPRO Falcon V8 Supercar driver Ash Walsh has once again finished in the top 10 in the opening practice for round 2 of the 2012 Dunlop Series. The Barbagallo Raceway situated north of Perth was covered by thick cloud and rain for most of the day making conditions treacherous in both 40 minute sessions.

The Matt Stone Racing team arrived in Perth with a good result in Round 1 and a very promising test day recently at Queensland Raceway. In the Friday morning session, Ash Wash was quickly into the top 10 and improved as the track began to dry out. “On the drying track in the first session the car was very good. A few people ran new tyres but we were sticking to our plan so overall P7 was a good start” Ash commented after practice.

The second session was very wet and times were some six seconds slower than the morning practice. Walsh struggled a little but again put it down to tyres in the appalling conditions. “I’m not going to take much from the second session. We don’t know what conditions it’s going to throw up tomorrow but wet or dry I think we are in good shape.” Ash concluded.

Qualifying and 2 x 18 lap Races take place at Barbagallo Raceway tomorrow for the Dunlop Series.
