Gordon Shedden to race in the Bathurst 12 Hours

By

2012 British Touring Car Championship champion Gordon Shedden has been confirmed to take part in the Bathurst 12 hour race next weekend.
“I’m excited to be joining Motionsport for my first visit to Bathurst. It’s an iconic circuit, an iconic race and I think the Lotus Exige will be a strong contender for class honours,” said Shedden.

Shedden is going to drive a Lotus Exige for Motionsport in the Class C category which is open for GT4 specification cars.

”Last year was a stark reminder not to count your chickens until they’ve hatched. We managed to build a comfortable lead, some 10 laps, over the works Peugeots for class honours, then in the penultimate hour we got collected by a Mercedes SLS as their driver miscued an overtake putting us in the fence and out of the race. We were gutted,” said Motionsport Team Principal Simon Phillips.

The 2014 Bathurst 12 Hours starts on February 8th.
