The Motorsport Innovations team shakedown their Ferrari 360 Challenge in preparation for next week's Bathurst 24 Hours

Melbourne based team Motorsport Innovations has completed work on its Class B Ferrari 360 Challenge for the Bathurst 24-Hour.

The Ferrari had its first shake down at Calder on Wednesday with team owner Rod Wilson behind the wheel. Wilson who will be driving a Graham Nash Motorsport Porsche GT3 RS at Bathurst, later handed over the Ferrari to one of its four drivers, Richard Wilson.

Both drivers were impressed with the Bathurst set-up and how easy and comfortable the car was to drive, which is the ideal package for Bathurst. The car is currently been sign-written and departs for Bathurst on Monday evening.

The Motorsport Innovations drivers for the 24 hour race at Bathurst will be Richard Wilson, Paul Jenkins, Theo Koundouris and Ian Palmer. With the amount of work and new components that have gone into the car the Motorsport Innovations team feel confident of a good result.
