KLIEN JOINS “THE ENFORCER” FOR V8 ENDUROS

Austrian Formula One driver Christian Klien will co-drive with Russell Ingall at the V8 Supercar Endurance races at Sandown and Bathurst this year. Klien, who made 41 F1 starts for teams including Jaguar and Red Bull will drive the Supercheap Autos Commodore with the two time Bathurst winner. The 1000 kms enduro around the Mountain won't be Klien's first look at the famous track, earlier this year he drove a production Lotus at the famous circuit although that's a long way  from the 640 BHP that he'll need to deal with in the Commodore. Although he is best known in Australia for his F1 career, Klien has considerable endurance experience with a best result of a third place at Le Mans in the factory Peugeot in 2008. Klien had a secret test with Walkinshaw Racing recently and will drive the Supercheap Auto Racing Commodore in the enduro co-driver practice session at Phillip Island this Friday ahead of the weekend's fifth round of the V8 Supercar Championship, the Phillip Island 300.

BRABHAM ON TOP AT SANDOWN SATURDAY

Series leader Matthew Brabham has set the early pace for the third round of the CAMS’ Victorian Formula Ford Championship at Sandown International Motor Raceway.

Brabham set a fastest lap of 1 min 15.9138 seconds to start from pole in Saturday afternoon’s first race.

The Mygale driver recorded an all away win to lead home Spectrum drivers Sam Power and Caleb Rayner.

Unlike the previous round held at Sandown, drivers were on their very best behaviour after a warning from the meeting’s driving standards officer Luke Ellery that a repeat of last meeting’s behaviour would not be tolerated..

Ellery warned drivers that officials would take a dim view of any incidents that brought out a full course yellow, or a red flag.

Fields in the Formula Fords, were large enough to be able to split the Formula Ford 1600 cars into their own race.

Scott Andrews in a Spectrum recorded an all away win from an impressive Adrian Lazararo and Lachlan Marshall.

In other events at Sandown…
