Camino 1000km - Race Preparation

The 1000km of Camino Extreme starts at 10am this Saturday and Doodleco Motorsports has been working away to prep a car for the team's first race.

Two drivers are to be used, team manager Steve Garfoot (TangoWh1skey) and CRA driver Carl Ridge (FOOKPIG).

The car of choice is the Holden Commodore V8 Supercar.

The race weekend starts tonight, with the first qualification round. FOOKPIG has been nominated to qualify and will also be driving for the first half of the race. At the second stop, there will be a full service with driver change to allow Tango Wh1skey to complete the race.

Looking at the other cars in the field, the team knows that it is going to be a challenge but 1000km is a longs way. Realistically, we're aiming for a top five finish. A podium would be fantastic but our goal is to finish.
