\u201cIt\u2019s something a bit different for us, but I\u2019m really looking forward to it,\u201d said Xiberras.<\/p>\n
\u201cBathurst is always special, and to be able to race there with a great group of mates makes it even better.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe car looks fantastic, the design really pops and represents the team, Nulon and all our partners well.<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd we\u2019re doing it properly, camping, BBQ, the whole lot. That\u2019s what this race is all about.\u201d<\/p>\n
