Erebus Motorsport switches from Mercedes to Holden

By

Erebus Motorsport has decided to switch cars for the 2016 V8 Supercars season from Mercedes to Holden.

“Holden has proved its competitiveness in the sport again and again. Erebus has experienced success, but with the switch to Holden combined with our experienced team personnel in Barry Ryan and Campbell Little, and David Reynolds behind the wheel, we have every chance to win more often,” said team owner Betty Klimenko.

The team will field two Holden Commodores this season for newly signed drivers David Reynolds and Aaren Russell.

“I made my V8 Supercars debut in a Commodore, but since I last raced a Holden the series moved into the Car Of The Future era. Since then, the VF Commodore has proven to be the car of choice and I see the change to Holden as a positive for Erebus Motorsport. I’m looking forward to getting back behind the wheel of a Commodore and together with Erebus growing a strong relationship with Holden,” said Reynolds.

Erebus Motorsport debuted the Mercedes E63 AMG in 2013, running three cars, but has since then struggled for results.
