Walden on the grid at Clipsal

In a last gasp effort, Walden Motorsport will be on the grid at this weekend’s Clipsal 500.
As late as Monday there had been no deal done, but according to the Australian pulication eNews, Brian Walden has bought the BF Falcon that was to be used by Max Wilson in WOW colours, and the car will be driven by Walden’s son Garth.

Brian was due to fly to Brisbane first thing Tuesday to collect the car, and then leave Sydney for Adelaide late Tuesday night.

“We’re getting really close now,” Walden told eNews.

“This will get us up and running, then we’ll get everything sorted once the season is happening.”

There was even a chance at one point that Wilson would continue to drive the car, complete with WOW signage. However, as reported elsewhere on TouringCarTimes, the WOW money has gone to Brad Jones Racing.

Clipsal will be Garth Walden’s first outing in a V8 Supercar since 2004, However he had some seat time as recently as a week ago, competing in the WPS Bathurst 12 Hour at Mount Panorama.
