Today, the Castrol EDGE Endurance Countdown looks at the #9 SP Tools Racing Ford Falcon FG entry of Shane van Gisbergen and Johnny McIntyre.
Fast car, even faster lead driver, reliable co-pilot, championship contender – there’s a lot to like about the #9 SP Tools Falcon at this year’s V8 Supercars endurance races.
After a few seasons of wild antics, van Gisbergen has tempered his driving, and he is reaping the rewards. So far this year, he has recorded six podium finishes. Can he add another trophy to his increased collection?
Without doubt, this is McIntyre’s best opportunity to score a big result in the V8 enduros – and if there ever was a chance of being a full-time V8 driver, this is his chance to prove his worth.
