Maybe it’s the Aussie way that goes back generations but we certainly have a history of “lending a hand” and it is interesting to see just how many local companies have jumped in to support the overseas teams.
Sydney-based GCG turbochargers has been involved with a number of Japanese teams over the years. Garage Revolution, Panspeed and Scorch cars all benefit from the GCG expertise and all run GCG-built turbos. Daniel Farrand from GCG’s Japan branch will also be escorting the teams on their trip to Australia.
Hi Octane Racing has helped Scorch Racing with their dry sump conversion.
Motul oil have sponsored the Cyber Evo through their Australian distributor Link International and Elf Racing fuel have also got behind the Cyber team with some of their Elf Perfo 105 racing fuel hoping that this may give this team the winning edge.
The American Sierra Sierra team have secured support from Australian turbo component manufacturer Turbosmart. Turbosmart products are also used by Scorch Racing and PanSpeed teams.
Royal Purple Oil Australia have also jumped in to give the Sierra Sierra guys a hand as well and are expecting a promising result.
Adelaide based Xtreme Clutch are also heavily involved with several of the top D1 NZ cars including three time champion Gaz Whiter and will be looking for a big showing in Sydney.
On top of this, the guys at both Yokohama Australia and Hankook Australia have gone out of their way to make sure all of these cars have the appropriate tyres ready when they arrive.
So we just wanted you to know how much support us Aussies give to our international guests! To all of them we say a big THANK YOU!
