David Wall current Australian Carrera Cup Champion and Class B winner from the last years event brings extensive Bathurst miles to the squad along with Hadrian Morrall who also claimed a class podium in the 2017 event and previously raced the Bathurst 6 Hour.
“The plan is to go there and stay out of trouble, the car should be well suited to the Bathurst track and all going to plan we will have a strong result in the AM class” said David Fyfe, Wall Racing.
The Lamborghini will be supported by Safe-T-Stop, Wilson Security and PB Packaging.
Joining the Wall Racing team for 2018 is the Porsche 991 Class B car driven by Charles Putman, Charles Espenlaub and Joe Foster

“We are hopeful for a good showing for both cars and as always we are looking forward to the Bathurst 12 Hour, it’s a great for the drivers but also for the crew, giving them the opportunity to use strategy and everything else that goes into a long distance race,” said David Fyfe, Wall Racing.
