Bayliss had his first taste of V8 Supercars back in June when he tested Craig Lowndes’ TeamVodafone V8 Supercar at Queensland Raceway, setting a time just three-tenths of a second off Lowndes’ fastest lap of the day.
And SBR’s naming right sponsors, SP Tools and IRWIN Industrial Tools, have announced they will combine their sponsorship in an attempt to win the elusive Supercheap Auto Bathurst 1000.
The correlation between the tool companies will allow for SBR’s main series drivers, Shane van Gisbergen and Alex Davison, to pair up in a dual livery FG Falcon for the 2009 enduro season events.
The announcement also confirms the second SBR car run at Phillip Island and Bathurst will be an all-Kiwi entry with John McIntyre and Daniel Gaunt partnering up driving the No.4 car in an identical colour scheme.
Only once before has SBR combined its sponsors for the endurance races, when Marcos Ambrose and Russell Ingall drove the same car under a dual livery in 2003.
