Enduro Time!
V8X Supercar Magazine|August - September 2019 Issue 112

DJR Team Penske’s bid to end a 25-year winless run at Bathurst comes up against a formidable Triple Eight Race Engineering driver line-up. This is how the battle for the 2019 Supercheap Auto Bathurst 1000 and PIRTEK Enduro Cup is shaping up.

Enduro Time!

DJR Team penske’s dominant first half of 2019 looks set to carry the team and lead driver Scott McLaughlin to the drivers’ and teams’ championship win. According to McLaughlin, the points buffer will allow them to go allout at the endurance events.

“We want to attack and build a gap and be able to attack in the enduros and not be worried about a championship; that’s what I’m trying to build to,” he says.

“I want to have a gap that I can attack in the enduros and not worry about it, because Bathurst is the next thing on my list and I don’t want to be worried about a points gap.”

While McLaughlin will be gunning for a first Bathurst win, DJR Team Penske (formerly Dick Johnson Racing) will be out to end a 25-year drought at Mount Panorama dating back to Dick Johnson and John Bowe’s win in 1994. The team has not won a 500km or 1000km enduro since the 2001 Queensland 500 with Steven Johnson and Paul Radisich.

1960 – 2020 TOP 60 DRIVERS
