THE FACTS ON TIM & BARBAGALLO

- Tim raced here in 2013 with DJR and in 2015 with LDM. He went from 21^st to 12^th in the Sunday race. It was his equal best solo race result of the season.

- Out of 81 ATCC/V8SC races, 39 of the winners have started from pole position! No driver has ever won an ATCC/V8SC race in Barbagallo from 8^th or 9^th on the grid.

- Tim also has Dunlop Series & Formula Ford history at Barbagallo. He finished 2^nd in the 2007 Formula Ford round to James Moffat (the year he won the championship) and was 5^th in 2006. In the Dunlop Series he was 10^th overall in 2011 for MW motorsport in ex-FPR BF Falcon and 5^th for them in 2012. 

- The smallest grid of starters for an ATCC race at the circuit was 9. There were just nine cars on the grid for Race 2 in 1980. That race was also the last win for a Torana in ATCC history – Allan Grice in his Craven mild LX SS.
