Update on Tagliani and Marshall racing in Oz (off topic)

[marcus]

Alex tagliani and marcus marshall are competing in the Sandown 500 V8 supercar race this weekend driving for WPS racing in a Ford falcon.

Today was opening day practice and they got down to business in the first 2 hr session.

34 cars are taking part and they ended up 23rd fastest in the 1st session (not sure which driver set the faster time) with a time of 1:12.5440 only 0:01.6817 seconds off the fastest car.

the 2nd session of the day was simply for the 2nd drivers alone in the car.

so Tags went out and got down to business and set a very respectable time of 1:12.4970 (0:01.0663 seconds off pole) in 16th place again out of 34 cars.

a very good effort first time up in a V8 supercar and hopefully the Champcar boys have a great weekend
