The third round of the V8SuperTourer inaugural championship has been rocked by confirmation that the Supercheap Holden Commodores run by Melbourne Performance Centre have been withdrawn from the event.
Drivers Scott McLaughlin and Geoff Emery did not take part in the practice session this morning as the team elected to withdraw the cars to avoid further costly engine damage as a result of unresolved cooling issues.
“I don’t know what’s going on to be honest.” McLaughlin told speedstuff.
McLaughlin is already on his second engine after issues in the opening rounds.
“I don’t think the category has got the engine cooling sorted as yet and it’s cost us a couple of engines.”
Christchurch driver Andy Knight did not complete any laps in the session, as the team spent time trying to diagnose their ongoing engine dramas.
Knight remains optimistic the team have fixed the problem and will take part in this afternoons qualifying and race.
