\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tThe all-female Team Buccini Racing BMW of Karlie Buccini, Courtney Price, and Tabitha Ambrose.<\/p>\n

In this year\u2019s running of the Easter enduro, the Team Buccini BMW 340i lines up once again in Class B1 (High Performance Forced Induction).<\/p>\n

The team will compete against just two other cars \u2013 class regulars John Fitzgerald and Aaron Zerefos, this year joined by Robert Bryden in a BMW 135i, and the yet-to-race Kia Stinger GT of David Worrell\/Scott Walker\/Richard Luff.<\/p>\n

An unchanged driver line-up will contest this year\u2019s event, with Karlie Buccini, Courtney Prince, and Tabitha Ambrose behind the wheel.<\/p>\n

Buccini and former Porsche driver Prince have raced together for several seasons and know each other\u2019s style well.<\/p>\n

Ambrose, the daughter of two-time Supercars champion Marcos, joins for the second year, continuing to prove her worth in the car.<\/p>\n

Team owner and Karlie\u2019s father Paul Buccini expressed significant pride in the team\u2019s efforts over its tenure.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs a family-built car not by a car builder and a family run team by just family and good friends, we feel our achievements are well above expectation,\u201d Buccini told Speedcafe.<\/p>\n

\u201cTo have four starts at the Bathurst 6 Hour and four podiums is an achievement in itself, not many have managed that success.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Buccini trio are among several female racers entered in the Easter enduro, including production car regulars Annabelle Rolfo and Emily Caccaviello, and a last-minute addition of GT4 ace Zoe Woods.<\/p>\n

The team has topped two of the three practice sessions in class thus far, and will line up for one final practice followed by qualifying later today.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The all-female Team Buccini Racing BMW of Karlie Buccini, Courtney Price, and Tabitha Ambrose.
