2007 Australian Production Car Championship Runner Up for Morcom         19-12-2007

Second place in both the final round and the overall championship has completed the 2007 Australian Production Car Championship for Barry Morcom and his Rondo Building Services / Charsam Corporate Identity supported BMW 335i Turbo recently at Sandown International Raceway in Melbourne Victoria.

With the 2007 Australian Production Car Championship already in the bag for Garry Holt, the aim for Morcom at the final round was to consolidate his second placing in the championship and finish the year on a successful note.

After qualifying second behind Holt, Morcom was able to get the jump in the opening race on Holt and go on to score a commanding victory and this set him up for a strong showing in the one hour race later in the weekend.

Morcom started from the back of the grid, due to a reverse and handicapped grid format, for the second and final race on the Sunday, which was held over duration of one hour, alongside Holt.

By two thirds race distance Morcom had worked his way up to third place and looked on track to finish there only for his BMW 335i Turbo to slow and he fell back to fourth, which was where he finished at the fall of the chequered flag.

“I made good progress through the field and looked good for a spot on the podium only for the car to slow in the closing stages,” explained Morcom.

“Second place for the round and championship is a strong result and I’m very happy with how the year panned out as I managed to record a number of race wins and round podium results.

“The focus is now is now on going one better in next year’s Australian Production Car Championship and I feel confident that I can do that.”

Special thanks and congratulations from Morcom must go to Garry Holt and his Eastern Creek Kart Raceway team for the preparation of his BMW 335i Turbo this year and also for winning the Australian Production Car Championship.  

Morcom in 2007 is proudly sponsored by the following companies: Rondo Building Services, Charsam Corporate Identity, P & I Smash Repairs, Haltech Engine Management Systems, Yokohama, Hydrolyte, Premier One, NSW Stretch Ceilings, Hi-Tech Computers, and a special thanks goes out to all of them for their ongoing commitment and support.
