RECAP – The Supercars Championship returned to Tailem Bend for its 2nd year running. Tim Blanchard drove the car first in the co-drivers session. Blanchard proved that his time in Super2 is beneficial to his preparation for the up and coming enduros.
Nick jumped in the car for Practice one and was immediately competitive. The primary focus was to run through data. Nick and the team are positive of the direction they will take tomorrow.
