We have a great car and two very accomplished drivers, a number of great events including a night race in WA and a visit to New Zealand, where we also have many Dayco customers,” Mr McClurg Stated.

“The Dayco Porsche Cup Car has become one of the most recognised cars in the field and these incredible racing cars have a truly global appeal.
