Today, the Castrol EDGE Endurance Countdown looks at the #24 Bundaberg Red Racing Holden Commodore VE entry of Fabian Coulthard and Craig Baird.

Recently, team principals admitted that the Bundaberg Red Racing squad was nothing more than a second team and that all the focus was based around the Toll Holden Racing team.
But that’s not to say that this Kiwi pair of Coulthard and Craig Baird couldn’t spring an enduro surprise. Coulthard is fast enough, and Baird has the experience to match Coulthard’s pace.
If WR put 100 percent effort into this entry, it could produce a surprise …
