Bathurst legend Larry Perkins has nominated the #2 Toll Holden Racing Team entry as his favourite heading into the V8 Supercars endurance races at Phillip Island and Bathurst.
Speaking on Speedcafe.com.au’s Castrol EDGE Endurance Countdown, Perkins says that Garth Tander/Cameron McConville will be the car to beat in the classic two-driver V8 races, despite the team’s tough season.

“Don’t underestimate this team …”
