Lee Holdsworth extends contract with Erebus Motorsport

Lee Holdsworth has signed an extended multi-year contract with Erebus Motorsport ahead of the coming V8 Supercars seasons.
“Knowing that you’ve got the right people around you is the most importing thing in any business or sport and I certainly know I’ve got that at Erebus,” said Holdsworth.

“I’ve worked with the team for a long time and we’ve been through some tough times but now we’ve seen the light. Seeing what our team can overcome and seeing the attitude of the people there throughout those times proves to me that we’ve got the right bunch of people to be a Championship team.”

The 31-year-old joined Erebus Motorsport in 2012, when the team was named Stone Brothers Racing, and has been a key part of the development in the team after the switch from Ford to Mercedes.

“I couldn’t be happier that Lee is staying with us as part of the Erebus family. He had a tough year last year but he persevered and he deserves every success he is getting now. Lee is a great ambassador for Erebus and we’re looking forward to what the future may bring,” said team owner Betty Klimenko.

Holdsworth is currently placed 17th in the 2014 V8 Supercars drivers’ championship with one victory in the bag so far this year.
