David Brabham joins Tim Slade at Gold Coast

Endurance racing ace David Brabham is going to join Tim Slade at Erebus Motorsport for this weekend’s Gold Coast race, replacing Andrew Thompson.
“After the effort at Bathurst by the Erebus Motorsport crew, the boys and Tim deserve a good result to drive them on for the remainder of the season and hopefully I can be here to do that for them,” said Brabham.

Slade finished 11th in the Bathurst 1000 race, a result the team is hoping to further boost this weekend with Brabham onboard.

“Brabham comes to the #47 Heavy Haulage Australia Racing with a great working knowledge of our team members from the past two years. To add his Formula One and Le Mans experience to the list of drivers who have driven Erebus Motorsport cars in our very short history is another success factor for us,” said Erebus Motorsport CEO Ryan Maddison.

“The crew have worked tirelessly since Bathurst to ensure that they will deliver a car to contend for wins and it would give us no greater pleasure than to have our first podium at the Gold Coast.”
