Wills in for Bowe at home Grand Prix
20/10/2001 21:35 (V8 Wire - Jason Whittaker) -
Simon Wills will pedal the CAT Racing Falcon at his home Grand Prix, the V8 International at Pukekohe, replacing John Bowe who split with the team this week.
The 24-year-old Konica Series champion has already secured a seat in an expanded four-car Briggs Motorsport squad next year.
Pukekohe will provide the rookie with more miles in the CAT Ford, and the opportunity to compete in front of his home crowd.
He may well be given another chance at the final round of the season at Sandown Raceway, though the team is yet to confirm that.
Briggs Motorsport will sit-out the Indy support races at Surfers Paradise next week to better prepare the car for its Trans-Tasman journey.
