Pre-race report

6 September 2009

The enduro's are back! I've just been watching lots of footage from the past couple of years of enduro's and i'm getting pumped! As we learnt last year, Saturday's racing format where both drivers qualify and race definitely throws in a challenge, both drivers need to perform to get us a good starting position for Sunday. That way we can stay out of trouble as it is hard to pass and drive a clean clear fast race. Weather forecast is looking good so come on down to the Island and fly those FORD flags.

Post-race report

13 September 2009

A podium result for Richo and i at the L&H 500. After dominating all practice and qualifying sessions we started from pole in the race. The wind we were experiencing early in the weekend was non existent on race day. The car wasn't as good early in the race, we made a change for my last stint and our times were fast, we were hoping for a safety car to close the gap to the first two cars and give it a go, but didn't get it. The team are pumped for Bathurst, bring it on.
