Marcos Ambrose’s much hyped return to V8 Supercars has come ‘full circle’, with news that a former partner will also come along for the ride.
In a ‘one off’ appearance in the final round of 2014, Ambrose’s Dick Johnson Racing (DJR) Ford Falcon will carry sponsorship from hose and fitting company Pirtek.
Both of Ambrose’s Australian Touring Car Championships were achieved from behind the wheel of the ‘Pirtek Falcon’, when the recently-retired NASCAR driver competed for Stone Brothers Racing around a decade ago.
The Pirtek Falcon and Ambrose were champions in 2003 and 04, and now the pair has been reunited ahead of Ambrose’s return to the sport.
The popular racer’s primary backer for the Sydney event will be XBOX. Ambrose took to the wheel for a ride-day at Queensland’s Lakeside Raceway to familiarise himself with the Falcon under the current rules.
