FTR Finish Strong at Hidden Valley

A seventh placing overall for Steven Richards and a great run from the back of the field by Glenn Seton have once again showed the strength of Ford Tickford Racing (FTR), this time at round four of the Shell Championship Series at Darwin’s Hidden Valley.

Ford new-boy Marcos Ambrose won the round, ahead of Jason Bright and Mark Skaife.

Richards was Mr Consistency, holding position in the top-ten and all of the weekend’s three races, with the highlight coming in the final race with a fourth placing.

The same race brought a fifth place for Seton, who was forced to start near the rear of the field in race two after a collision lost him a lap in the weekend’s opening race.

Car speed and strong pit stops paved the way for FTR’s charge, and if not for some incidents with other cars and hold-up in traffic, the weekend could have brought an even better result.

“I had a really good racecar this weekend – if not for a disappointing qualifying, I’m sure we could have done even better,” said Richards.

“The last race was the real indication of how good this team is, both Glenn and I running together near the front.

“Everything is there and I’m looking forward to Canberra, as I won the event overall there last year.

For Seton, 11th place overall was a great comeback after the disappointment of race one.

“I must say that I was fired-up for races two and three, and I had a very good run,” said Seton.

“We could be disappointed with the result – but the moral in the team is very good and we will have a strong package for Canberra.

“We plan on introducing a new car for Steven at that event, and I’m sure it will be very strong – all I have to do is make sure I beat him.

“If I can do that, I know that we will be at the front.

The GMC 400 will be held in Canberra on June 7 – 10.
