Romano receives last-minute support for Adelaide
6/4/2000 22:34 (Jason Whittaker) - Battling V8 racer Paul Romano has received a major boast on the eve of the Clipsal 500 in Adelaide, with Tile retailer Beaumont Tiles signing-on as team sponsor.
Beaumont Tiles renews it's sponsorship of Paul Romano for this weekend's V8 Supercar Adelaide showcase, after previously supporting the team at Bathurst and at the Adelaide Grand Prix in 1995.
The team will now be known as Beaumont Tiles Racing.
Speaking on his chances in the two-250km races around the Adelaide Parklands, Romano is confident he and the team can put in a solid performance.
"In 1999 we lacked reliability with the car but the team have been working very hard to ensure we have a faster and more reliable package this year," the 26-year-old said.
"So far it's been reliable, now we need the speed. We've made a lot of changes to the car and introduced new parts so hopefully the speed will come." Romano said.
Team Manager Alan Heaphy, recruited from Gibson Motorsport last year, says the debut of an all-new Chev V8 engine could be just what the team needs to make an impression over the weekend.
Practice for the Adelaide Clipsal 500 begins tomorrow.
