It is no surprise to Kiwi motorsport fans that Triple Eight’s Roland Dane is singing Earl Bamber’s praises after the first two PIRTEK Enduro Cup rounds (Sandown and Bathurst).
Supercars.com’s article Dane hails ‘exceptional’ Bamber quotes the following from Dane:
“The guy’s just outstanding,” Dane said of Bamber.
“To me, when you take into account his Supercars experience especially, and his Bathurst experience which is limited to a couple of 12 Hours – but not necessarily many laps because he’s part of a four-driver crew – that was probably the outstanding co-driver performance of the weekend.
“But particularly that stint where he had to push on, and he did. He was very effective, didn’t get into strife, didn’t get into trouble, he just passed people.
“He was exceptional. He was exceptional at Sandown, we’ll see at the Gold Coast but hopefully he can deliver a great enduro season for us.”
Well, Bamber is a 2x 24 Hours of Le Mans champion and is racing a Porsche somewhere in the world every other weekend!
This weekend he co-drives again with Shane van Gisbergen in the Vodafone Gold Coast 600, the final round of the PIRTEK Enduro Cup.
