Tony D'Alberto Racing currently known as Wilson Security Racing is a V8 Supercar racing team, owned by the D'Alberto family which competes in the V8 Supercar Championship Series. The team operates a single Ford FG Falcon driven by Tony D'Alberto. The team's main sponsor is Wilson Security.
Formed originally as a Formula Ford racing team running a two year old Mygale chassis in 2002, the team sat dormant as D'Alberto moved into the Fujitsu V8 Supercar Series racing for other teams, including Independent Racing Cars Australia. In 2005 D'Alberto re-started his own team and made steady progress through the Fujitsu series ranks before winning the series in 2007.
During the 2007 endurance racing season, D'Alberto co-drove with his old team Independent Racing Cars Australia, who were now operating the Rod Nash owned V8 Supercar Racing Entitlement Contract. For 2008 Nash switched his franchise over to the D'Alberto team allowing TDR to race in the V8 Supercar Championship Series for the first time. The team, like all single car teams, has struggled to make progress, and has not matched performances to that of IRCA when they operated the Nash owned franchise. TDR and Nash went separate ways in 2010 when TDR brought a franchise to run in the series themselves.[1]
2009 saw Andrew Thompson join D'Alberto for the endurance event races. Tony finished 26th in qualifying race A at the 2009 L&H 500 and Thompson finished 7th in race B and together a commendable 15th in the feature race. At the 2009 Bathurst 1000 the pair finished 10th in the 1000km race.
The team ran under the banner of Centaur Racing in 2010 and acquired the services of Shane Price for the endurance races at Phillip Island and Bathurst, while Portuguese World Touring Car Championship driver Tiago Monteiro was signed to compete alongside D'Alberto in the Gold Coast 600 at Surfer's Paradise.
In 2011, the team received sponsorship from Wilson Security and would compete under the banner of Wilson Security Racing, and following the season opening round at Abu Dhabi, D'Alberto switched to a Ford FG Falcon built by Ford Performance Racing, which let them receive financial support from the manufacturer, D'Alberto's former Walkinshaw built VE Commodore was campaigned as the teams Fujitsu V8 supercar series entry.
