V8 Race Wrap for the Gold Coast 600

After two rebuilds for car number 4 and a fourth place finish for the MEX Sponsored #9 car, the Erebus team went into the Gold Coast 600 confident, and both cars came out of the blocks firing.

With strong performances in the practice sessions and a 5th place qualification for the Davison brothers, all was going to plan. It was however mechanical drama for the Davison’s and another crash for Holdsworth and Baird that undid all their hard work.

The MEX Sponsored V8 withdrew from the race with a split oil cooler and a badly damaged front end. In the end Caruso and Moffat ended up taking what could have been the Davison’s place on the podium after battling all race with the Erebus crew.

With only the Phillip Island and Sydney events to go, the Erebus team will be itching to put the Gold Coast results aside and finish the year on a high.

Also at the races were a handful of MEX Customers who had the chance to get up close to the Mercedes AMG V8’s. Here is some feedback from one of them:

“We thoroughly enjoyed the event, the highlight being the exclusive pit garage tour and of course the supercars.”

“My only regret… not packing earplugs (trap for new players), no seriously we all had a great time.”

"An experience they will be bragging about at school I’m sure."
