Lindsay O'Donnell was due to race is Volvo S40, having shipped it from New Zealand, however he had an engine failure in testing on Thursday. The red 1-series is an endurance spec machine he bought from Luxembourg a few weeks ago. That will be returning to NZ with him to be run in the local South Island Endurance Series.
Although very much outside the normal entry, the series allowed him to run it. Having traveled all that way and gone to that much trouble, just to run a couple of laps testing, it seemed the right thing to do.
