2006 Bathurst Form Guide: Holden Preview.

Tuesday, 3rd October 2006

In the first of a comprehensive two-part preview, Matthew Agius evaluates the chances for all of Holden's entries for this weekend's ninth round of the V8 Supercar Championship Series - the illustrious Supercheap Auto Bathurst 1000.

The all-Kiwi combination of Paul Radisich and Fabian Coulthard is, like Autobarn Racing, another dark horse. The Rat is regarded as one of the best evergreen drivers in the series, able to clock quick times even if the car isn’t the best, whilst Coulthard has been one of the revelation rookies of the championship in 2006 – hence his reward in being signed to the Holden Young Lions development program. The Paul Morris Motorsport-prepared car will go well at Bathurst, adding to the synergy that TKR has developed at Bathurst, and in what is set to be the Airport Oaks team’s final Bathurst in a Holden, the All Black Commodore could feature at the pointy end of the grid.
