New three-year-deal for James Courtney with HRT

By

James Courtney has extended his contract with Holden Racing Team by three years.
“Over the last three years I’ve built a great relationship with everyone at the Holden Racing Team, its loyal army of fans and Holden,” said Courtney.

“We’re starting to get some good traction with the development of our new VF Commodores and to be able to continue with the team for another three years is fantastic.”

The 33-year-old, who finished tenth overall in the V8 Supercars last year, is currently placed ninth in the championship with five podium finishes so far.
“James was our first choice, and we worked hard on a satisfactory arrangement for him to stay at HRT,” said Walkinshaw Racing Managing Director Steve Hallam.

“James has been a contributor to our development program and we were very keen for him to continue. I’m sure we will achieve more success with him behind the wheel of an HRT Commodore.

“James has a great working relationship with Garth Tander; their combined feedback is a valued asset as shown by our progress this year.

“James’ commitment to HRT demonstrates he has great faith in our program and future direction and will inspire every member of the team.”
