GT Round 1: Deja vu! Repeat Adelaide double gives Klark the early Championship lead

MARCH 4, 2012.   Klark Quinn is off to another flying start in the Australian GT Championship protected by Sargent Security. As in 2011, Klark won both of the opening round races at the Adelaide Parklands Circuit. The only diffrerence 12 months later was that this year he started the first race from third position instead of pole, which cost him three points under the new 2012 series rules...

NOVEMBER 20, 2011.   Two third placings at Sandown last weekend cemented Klark Quinn's second place in the 2011 Australian GT Championship – his best ever result in the series.

Round 5: Tony does Klark a Father’s Day favour at The Island

SEPTEMBER 4, 2011. On a day when fathers traditionally receive gifts from their offspring, the Quinn family swapped roles in Round 5 of the Australian GT Championship at Phillip Island!

Round 3: Tony DNFs at the Creek, but Klark retains the championship lead

MAY 29, 2011.   Klark Quinn's VIP Petfoods Mosler MT900R wasn't the quickest GT car around Eastern Creek, and he was given a highly irregular penalty in one race, but through it all he retained his lead in the Australian GT Championship. Klark battled traction and braking problems all weekend with the Mosler, and a drive-through penalty for the same 'offence' that another driver...

Round 2: Klark scores a double-podium at Winton, but Tony hits double-trouble!

MAY 22, 2011.   Consistency has paid dividends for VIP Petfoods racer Klark Quinn in the second round of the 2011 Australian GT Championship at Winton Motor Raceway. Klark drove his Mosler MT900 GT3 to second placings in both races at the rural Victorian racetrack, but because he finished behind different drivers each time he extended his lead in the overall pointscore. The seven-litre...
