A huge field of thirty six Formulas have nominated for this weekends King of Kwinana event at the Perth Motorplex and its certainly not going to be easy to pick a winner.
Almost half of the field can lay a legitimate claim to being a possible winner, or even to be on the podium come feature time, with all drivers looking for a strong lead up to the Australian Title later this season.
Leading the charge will be defending King of Kwinana winner and current state champion Andrew Priolo. Priolo won the event last year in the triple round format, claiming one race win, a third and a fourth, with Jason Pryde and Matt Higgs also claiming wins in the other two races. This year will be a different format due to the larger number of cars, with drivers split into two heats over two rounds before a thirty car field starts the a main.
Last start winner Steven Ellement is also in the field and will be looking to improve on his opening night runner up place, as is Troy Johnson who in the Formulas first round this year at the Motorplex claimed third.
Making a welcome come back to the division is the veteran Phil Crofts, while Tim Winters has also thrown his hat back into the ring. Once these two have gotten rid of any rust they will certainly be a threat to take out a win here and there.
The mentioned drivers are just a mere taste of the talent that will be on display come Saturday night, with luck playing a huge part. So who will out last and out perform the rest of the field? You'll just have t get your backside trackside this weekend to find out.
Make sure you head down to the pits after the race meeting with the kids to grab a poster from Steven Ellement Motorsports, Multi Scaffold Racing and Mac Race Team, and even get the drivers to sign them for you!
