Chelsea Angelo — Sandown Wrap-Up
Well I certainly had an interesting weekend at Sandown. I kicked off the weekend with P3 and P4 in Friday's practice sessions and was wrapped with how the car felt. It was super cold and wet, but it was awesome fun to get the wets on and have a spin in the rain!
Saturday's qualifying session, I managed to put the car on the second row of the grid, in fourth — which I was stoked with! Race 1 was awesome fun, I was able to get a strong race start, which helped to keep me in the pack with the front-runners. I could see Vidau and Fallon battling it out and on lap 13 saw my opportunity to take second ahead of Vidau, whilst Fallon claimed first. I was absolutely wrapped with P2!
Unfortunately, Race 2 I made a mistake at turn 6/7 and made contact with the fence, forcing me out of the race. We had hopes to get the car back out for Race 3, but unfortunately there was just too much damage! But, that's racing I guess! I live and learn from the mistakes and it makes me even more eager to get back behind the wheel for the next race!
A huge thanks to the crew at Wall Racing for such an awesome car and for all your hard work! I would like to give a massive thank you to all of my incredible sponsors for all of their help and support this year, without you I wouldn't be where I am today.
Bring on Phillip Island, 1 – 3 June 2018!
Hope to see you at the track!

OX Wheels Set To Roll With Chelsea Angelo In 2018
Global wheel manufacturer OX Wheels have today announced their sponsorship of Chelsea Angelo.
OX Wheels offer a large range of premium sport and off road designs for Australian, Japanese and European vehicles. As the company enters its 10th year of operations in Australia, Managing Director David Wu felt the time was right to make some noise in the Australian market.
Chelsea Angelo recalls that type of reception is not uncommon.
"I always laugh when people react like that but it probably triggered David to explore in his own mind how he could potentially align with my journey to market OX Wheels more aggressively. Alloy wheels is a very competitive market in Australia and at the end of the day we all love our cars… so I'm really looking forward to being an ambassador for OX Wheels." — Chelsea Angelo
OX Wheels will feature on the bonnet of Angelo's Porsche GT3 Challenge Cup entry, which will form part of the Shannons Nationals calendar. For Angelo, the season can't come fast enough.
"The season starts at The Bend Motorsport Park in South Australia which will be amazing given it's a brand new circuit. I'll be testing before then because I know it will be a very competitive season. I'm also really excited because OX Wheels are a new sponsor and they have never even seen me race before! So I feel I have a lot to prove." — Chelsea Angelo
Round 1 of Porsche GT3 Challenge Cup launched at Tailem Bend, 13 – 15 April 2018.
