Wilson Security Joins Tony D'Alberto Racing

Wilson Security is please to announce it will be the Principal Sponsor for Tony D’Alberto
Racing for season 2011, with Wilson Security Racing as the official team entry.


D’Alberto will drive the Wilson Security Racing #3 Commodore in Abu Dhabi to kick-start
the new season in early February, a partnership the 25-year old Melburnian is looking
forward to.


“Wilson Security has proven to be a fantastic supporter of Australian motor racing, especially
in V8 Supercars, and I’m looking forward to driving the Wilson Security entry in 2011,” said
D’Alberto.


“They (Wilson Security) are very big on backing emerging drivers, the young guys coming
through the pack. This will be our second season with our own team, so we see ourselves as
a growing operation with a view to building success and it’s good to have Wilson Security
join us as a key partner in doing that,” he added.


Team owner Al D’Alberto welcomed Wilson Security and highlighted a mutual desire for
success as the key foundation to the partnership.


“Wilson Security has become a strong brand in V8 Supercars and they recognise our
commitment to be up amongst the leading cars. The backing from Wilson Security endorses
our progress in 2010 and like us they want to see more success in 2011,” said Mr D’Alberto.

“We highly value all of our sponsors and together we are aiming for Wilson Security Racing
to be up amongst it and to enjoy a successful year.”


In making the announcement, Wilson Security CEO John McMellan said he believes both
Tony D’Alberto and Wilson Security Racing have plenty to look forward to this year.
“We have always sponsored emerging teams or drivers and it’s been pleasing for us to see
them progress. With this opportunity we believe we have both an emerging team and
driver,” said Mr McMellan.


“There are some exciting plans in place for 2011 that will see the operations of Wilson
Security Racing expand and improve in performance and we look forward to seeing this
season unfold,” he added.


The full 2011 Wilson Security Racing livery will be unveiled prior to the Clipsal 500 in
Adelaide.
