THE VW Scirocco that made headlines after crashing out of the 2026 Bathurst 6 Hour is set to be resurrected, with plans afoot to combine the crashed car with a fresh shell for the 2027 event.<\/p>\n

And what\u2019s more, the car will be campaigned by 710 Motorsport, the outfit behind the cult hero ex-Bathurst 1000 Toyota Camry, which raced in both the 2024 and \u201926 6 Hour races<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The team of Russell Greaves, Shane Logan and Darren Goddard have subsequently campaigned the Camry in grassroots Motor Events Racing fixtures<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The team had originally planned to debut an Audi S3 in 2027; however, they have opted for the proven VW package.<\/a><\/p>\n

The donor Scirocco was involved in the biggest crash of the 2026 event, with driver Richard Barram sent to Orange hospital with multiple injuries, including a broken vertebra, multiple rib fractures and multiple foot fractures.<\/p>\n

Grant Denyer was also involved in the contentious incident and suffered a dislocated shoulder.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cSome change in direction \u2013 the S3 will not be ready for the Bathurst 6 Hour 2027, so as not to miss the event, I have purchased two VW Sciroccos,\u201d read a post on the team\u2019s Facebook page.<\/p>\n

\u201cOne in mint condition and one very damaged car from the 2026 event.<\/p>\n

\u201cWork will now commence building one car out of the two, being already homologated, the car will be at the 2027 event.<\/p>\n

\u201cMust say a big thank you to Darren Goddard for his commitment to this project.\u201d<\/p>\n
