BATHURST brothers Blake and Kyle Aubin joined the Australian Production Cars series earlier this year and after a promising debut at Mount Panorama – which ended in heartache – they are looking for redemption this weekend in the third round of the series at Sydney Motorsport Park.

“Our start to the season at the Bathurst 6 Hour had a lot of positives but ultimately it was a very disappointing result, given our car speed over the weekend,” Blake Aubin explained.
“Essentially what happened is our steering wheel came loose whilst leading our class after an hour and a half. This saw us in the pits for 18 minutes and left us a lot of laps down.
“We never gave up and even did our fastest lap on the 94th lap of the race, which we see as a positive coming into our next round at SMP.”
The Aubin brothers will be competing in Class C at SMP this weekend.
“In our class any of the cars have the potential to win, so it's really about your speed and reliability on the day,” Blake said.
“It's great racing against the other Renaults obviously because of the similarities and we also expect Ric Shaw's Mazda RX8 to be a hot favourite over the weekend as well as any other class C entries.
“The four x one hour races is an exciting format which we think will create a lot of close battles but, we have never experienced this type of format before. For sure, it will be a busy weekend.
“We raced at Sydney Motorsport Park a lot last year so the track is familiar to us and we can't wait to get out on track Friday.”
