The bold new world of Holden’s Supercars race program has undergone testing, with the company reporting a successful test of its new twin-turbo V6 this week.

In a private test session held at the Norwell Motorplex in Queensland, the new engine, installed in the body of Red Bull Racing’s promotional Sandman panelwagon, was put through its paces at the hands of team drivers Jamie Whincup, Craig Lowndes, and Steven Richards.

"We are very happy with the initial running, GM Racing has given us a great base to work from," Red Bull Racing boss Roland Dane said in a statement.
 
"The test has been about getting kilometres on the engine and understanding what it needs at this point to prepare it for racing in Supercars."
