Shannons Supercar Showdown – Week 11

[motorculture]

The finale is here. It has been 11 weeks in the making, but we’re down to the last leg of the competition!

It was 77 days ago that 10 rookie racecar drivers of all description entered the Kelly Racing headquarters in order to pit their skills against each other. As the weeks went past, the contestants toppled and those who kept their cool remained in the competition.

Things started to heat up when the Shannons V8 Supercar was introduced. The remaining contestants were driving at 10/10ths in order to stay in the competition, which resulted in the inevitable – plenty of “off-track” action!

With Samantha out of the running, last week the boys thought that the competition would be narrowed down to two contestants. They were pleasantly surprised when the Kelly brothers mentioned that there were to be no eliminations – making it three contestants competing in the finale.

As the contestants were clearly on edge, the Kelly brothers decided to give them a little treat prior to the race. Seven-time Bathurst champion and all round racing legend Jim Richards arrived at Winton Raceway to give some advice to the remaining few, hopefully boosting their confidence.

So what will determine who gets to start on the grid at Bathurst this year? A timed, two lap stint in the Shannons V8 Supercar. Whoever is fastest, wins. It’s as simple as that.

This is certainly one finale you cannot miss! Catch the episode below.
