Engine Woes Cut Short Season for Williams

The strong finish to his rookie season in Formula 500s has come to an end for Liam Williams due to engine damage that he suffered during the latest round of the Victorian Stampede Series.

With the engine damage to his # 62 VIC AutoBarn – Narrewarren supported RTS car worse than first thought, Williams and his season have decided to not complete the remainder of the season.

“Naturally I’m very disappointed to have what was looking to be a strong finish to the season end this way,” Williams expressed.

“Over the past couple of months I have been running pretty strongly and looking for few more podium places in the remaining rounds of the Victorian Stampede Series.”

Now with his season coming to an end, Williams, who was one of the leading contenders for the rookie of the year prize, might just miss out on one of his season goals.

“Yeah, the rookie of the year award was something I was looking to pick up, but it’s made that tough now with me missing the end of the season,” he said.

“My results up until this point have been pretty good as I was the highest placed rookie driver in the Oval Express Series, won a round of the Victorian Stampede Series and also finished on the podium at another round, and finished inside the Top 5 of the Wingless Nationals as well.”

In regards to next season Williams and his team will make an announcement during the off season break with their plans.

For the 2007/08 season Williams is supported by: AutoBarn – Narrewarren, Pedder’s Suspension – Dandenong, D&F Race Products, Thermo-Glaze Bath Re-Surfacing, Hi-Tec Bathroom Maintenance, 3D Paint City – Narrewarren, Jettco Developments, and Performance Metals.
