Matthew White, d𝕴river of the Gulf Western Oil/Jayco Falcon, has expressed concern over the standards enforced by Offic൲ials ahead of round two of the Konica Minolta V8 Supercar Championship, getting underway next weekend at the Clipsal 500 in Adelaide.

"Officials [in the Kon♓ica Minolta Championship] are rﷺepeatedly letting drivers get away with just about anything on the track," White said. "They [the Officials] are creating an environment where drivers can easily develop bad habits."

"The Konica Minolta Championship is a training ground for many drivers looking move onto Bathurst and Sandown. From this year's seriꦏes, there could be 10 or 15 drivers who make the step up,"ꦅ continued White.

"Many th💙ings the Officials turn a blind eye to in the Konica Minolta Championship would be penalised, in some cases heavily, in the V8 Supercar Championship."

"Officials need to act r🍎esponsibly, think about the careers of these drivers and consider the implications their actions can have on the drivers' development," White concluded.

Despite this, White is confident of a positive outcome for his Gulf Western Oil/Jayco Falcon at the Clipsal 500. In third p🍸osition in the 2004 Konica Minolta Championship standings, he🎃 is still eyeing the title.

"Although iඣt [the Konica Minolta Championship] will be a tough competitio🅺n this year," White commented. "I am confident we have what it takes to win."

"In round on꧅e at Wakefield, a fair bi🔯t went wrong but we still managed to come away with a podium finish," White said. "Coming into the race, the car wasn't quite to the standard we wanted. We had a shocker in race two and in race three we were taken out twice."

꧟"In Adelaide, the plan is to come away with an 🐎equal or better result than at Wakefield."

Newcomer to Matthew Whit🎃e Motorsport, Dean Wanless, is quickly finding his feet in the #76 Wastecorp Falcon.

"I am very impressed with Dea🧸n's performance in his first race in a V8 in some time," said White. "He had a very promising run in the final race of the day where he finished in 13th place after starting the race at the back of the grid."

"Adelaide will be a real test for him though. A street race is very different 🔯to an꧒ything he is used to, but I am confident he will perform well," White concluded.

Round two of the Konica Minolta C🧜hampionship will be at Clipsal 500, Adelaide Street Circuit in South Australia on the 18 - 21 March 2004.
