Eastern Creek, Australia – A1 Team Canada celebrated its strongest showing of the 2007-08 A1GP World Cup of Motorsport season Sunday in Round 6 with Toronto’s Robert Wickens scoring a sublime third place Sprint podium result after having started the race down in 15th. A second points scoring finish followed with a sixth place in the Feature race as a downpour down-under greeted the 22-strong field of nations at Australia’s Eastern Creek International Raceway.
Taking just seven race starts to become the first Canadian driver to score three A1GP podiums, the 18-year-old conquered tricky conditions to give the team a second consecutive top-three finish following his runner-up podium last time out in New Zealand. Sixth in the afternoon’s Feature race also gifted Canada its first double points score at an A1GP round in over a year, the team meeting its objectives heading into the weekend scoring in both races and breaking into the top-ten of the A1GP Nations Standings – Canada now placed tenth overall, on 37 points, with four rounds remaining.
