The Pirtek Enduro Cup has arrived at Sandown with 2016 winners Shane van Gisbergen and Alex Premat delivering the trophy from a Pirtek service van.
The winning combination have split for 2017, but they are both determined to retain the crown as the championship fight heats up.
The Pirtek Enduro Cup was joined by all the retro-inspired race cars and their drivers on the front straight at Sandown ahead of the opening events of the endurance rounds.
