Kiwi motor racing star Jonny Reid, will partner Simon Evans for the V8 SuperTourer endurance series, after a successful test at Hampton Downs.
Team4 boss Owen Evans said that he was more than pleased with Jonny’s performance at the teams recent test.
“His feedback was great and as a direct consequence of that, we were able to make a real gain in the PEAK OIL Holden’s performance. As both Jonny and Simon are pretty much the same height, this will also help the driver changes, as we are determined to be the best in pit lane this year, commented Evans.
“I am really pleased to be joining Owen’s team for this years V8 SuperTourers endurance series,” said Reid.
“Team4 is one of the very best prepared team in the series, and Owen is to be congratulated for his very professional approach to the V8ST series, certainly the equal of most of the top Aussie V8SC teams in terms of equipment, personnel and car preparation.”
Simon Evans said, “Of all the top drivers that were available I am really rapt that the team picked Jonny. I have known him a long time and have great respect for him, both as a person and a top driver, so I could not be happier.”
Stephen Giles, ex Mclaren F1 team and head of Team4 engineering said: “We showed that we had very good car speed at the last race meeting, and Jonny has already helped improve on that, so we feel we should have a very competitive car for the endurance series.”
