Melinda Price’s racing comeback will continue this weekend at the Winton Super Sprint when she makes a first ever start in Touring Car Masters.

Price has dabbled in historic racing before debuting in the Australian GT Trophy Series in a MARC Mazda 3 in April.

The former Castrol Cougar will drive Phil Morris’ four-door XA Falcon GT as part of a planned campaign in TCM for the remainder of the season.

Price had originally been set to run in Australian GT with John Bowe, and it was the five-time TCM champion who convinced her to join the category.

“I was excited to be running historics a few years ago and then to be on the grid at Sandown in the GT race last month was amazing – it keeps getting better and better,” she said.

“I can’t wait to get in one of those cars and on track with those legends. I was on the Supercars grid with some of them 20 years ago.

“I’m looking forward to having a steer of a muscle car and be part of the Supercar show again.”

“John (Bowe) has been saying for a while how good Touring Car Masters is and how great it would be if I could do it.”

The Falcon which Price will pilot, which was taken by Leanne Tander to a round podium at the rural Victorian circuit in 2010, will be revealed in coming days.

Meanwhile, XB Falcon Coupe driver and seven-time race winner Eddie Abelnica will make his return this weekend after missing Round 1 in Adelaide, as will former AUSCAR racer Bruce Williams in a Torana SL/R.

Bowe leads the series ahead of the Winton Super Sprint from May 19-21.
