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.

LAUREN GRAY MOTORSPORT will draw on some local youthful exuberance when it tackles the Dial before You Dig Australian Six-Hour at Eastern Creek Raceway on July 18.
The team has signed 18-year-old local racer Jake Williams to partner Lauren Gray in the same Toyota Corolla Sportivo that earlier this year finished 19th in the Armor All Bathurst 12 hour.
The Cromer (NSW) resident has a long resume of competition in local motorsports, primarily in motorcycle competition.
A switch to racing cars has brought success in the NSW State Hillclimb titles and also the local HQ state series.
