The team had been scheduled to roll out its latest machine alongside Tickford Racing\u2019s first in-house build Monster Mustang<\/a> at Winton today.<\/p>\n

However, Erebus CEO Barry Ryan has confirmed to Speedcafe that the fresh #99 Total Energies entry will instead take to Winton on Monday.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re just freeing ourselves up to do a day on our own on Monday, rather than sharing the track with other cars,\u201d Ryan said.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s a cleaner day and it makes our car prep better than what it would have been if we\u2019d rushed it.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe didn\u2019t want to work stupid hours and get it done just for the sake of it, so we decided yesterday afternoon to go Monday.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s always better to get things done 100 percent than 99 percent.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ryan said the delayed shakedown will still leave plenty of time before the Erebus truck departs the mainland for Tasmania via ferry on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

Erebus has had a busy period since its cars and equipment arrived back from New Zealand.<\/p>\n

The introduction of a new car for Murray has meant rookie Jobe Stewart switches into the chassis formerly campaigned by his teammate.<\/p>\n

Stewart\u2019s car has been retired from racing duties and is set to be returned to its 2024 Bathurst 1000-winning Chiko livery<\/a> ahead of delivery to its new owner.<\/a><\/p>\n

It has one last task with Erebus, however, appearing at the Australian Auto Aftermarket Expo in Melbourne dressed in Murray\u2019s #99 Total Energies colours.<\/p>\n
