The 11th episode of the IRWIN Tools Endurance Countdown looks at the Lucky 7 Racing.

Speedcafe.com’s Grant Rowley is joined by Supercheap Auto Racing endurance driver Jack Perkins, alongside V8 Supercars Championship commentator Chris Jewell to discuss the strengths and weaknesses of each team leading into the L&H 500 Phillip Island and Supercheap Auto Bathurst 1000.

Tim Slade and Daniel Gaunt will enter the 2011 endurance races as one of the underdogs, but judging by Slade’s speed in the #47 car in the last event at Queensland Raceway, ‘underdog’ might be underestimating their potential.

Slade, driving the Stone Brothers Racing-prepared Falcon, finished with three podium results at the Ipswich circuit, ahead of the two lead SBR cars.

Like many others, Slade’s team-mate Gaunt will drive his regular Porsche Carrera Cup in the support races at both Phillip Island and Bathurst – so track miles won’t be a problem for him. And don’t forget, Gaunt is no V8 rookie, having competed in enough V8 races to know how it is done.

Is the #47 a sneaky outside chance for a podium … or better?
