Ryan Hansford has started his 2022 season with 2nd overall for the round at Sydney Motorsport Park for round 1 of the Gulf Western Oil Touring Car Masters series.

With the terrible flooding in Qld and NSW, the first Supercar round at SMP was extremely lucky to go ahead the weekend before last.

Showers over the 3 days meant the track conditions varied every time the cars went out, but the event got run.

Practice got underway Friday after lunch …

In race 1 he got …

After surprising many with 2nd fastest in qualifying, and holding the top spot until the last 30seconds to the flying Camaro of young gun Adam Garwood, Ryan was confident going into race 1 with the Multispares Torana’s speed across the top of the mountain but until he got into race conditions he still wasn’t sure he could off off the superior straight line speed of the 6 litre Camaro’s, Mustang’s and …

Unlike round 1 at Symmons the team have the right diff and gearbox ratios sorted, and last time Ryan raced at Bathurst in 2019 was the first time he was well and truly quicker than John Bowe.

Welcome to the 2021 Touring Car Masters series. It’s very close to 12 months since Ryan and the team were in Adelaide competing in round 1 of the 2020 series.

It certainly feels like “take 2” as the team does its final checks for getting this season underway.

Even though the car did just the one race meeting and a few drive days, Rod and Pete have given the Torana the once over and the engine has had a top end refresh so it can do the whole season. Ryan is super fit as he was last year but even more so …
