Over one third of the field in the Dial Before You Dig Australian Six Hour call Eastern Creek their home track, and they hope that their local knowledge will pay dividends in the inaugural endurance race next weekend.

One of the leading lights will be Moorebank based Steve Briffa, who will be teaming up with the experienced Christian D’Agostin for the event aboard the immaculate Briffa Smash Repairs VE HSV Clubsport.
 Briffa, one of the most exciting drivers in the Australian Manufacturers Championship, is eager to make his return to the race track in his own backyard.

“It’s been a while since we last hit the track, and this car hasn’t raced much, but we’re hoping for a strong run in the Six Hour,” Briffa said.

“The HSV Clubsport is a good car, it’s certainly up to racing in this sort of company.
