International racer Matt Brabham is back at Perth’s Barbagallo Raceway tomorrow for his latest daredevil antics with the Speed Energy Stadium Super Trucks series.
He returns to Australia fresh from victory at Long Beach, California, last month, where he extended his championship lead to 35 points. Last year Barbagallo was the venue for his Australian Supercars Championship debut, where he took the reins of the #3 Lucas Dumbrell Motorsport Holden Commodore, as well as his duties with Stadium Super Trucks.
“Barbagallo Raceway is a cool track and I guess is a little significant for me as it’s where I made my Supercar debut. The surface has always been a little different because of the amount of sand that blows on to the track, but that can make these things even a little more fun to drive. We’re looking forward to putting on one hell of a show for the fans who are becoming more and more knowledgeable about the series and its drivers.” Matt Brabham.
It was a solid outing for a guy who had never before been behind the wheel of a Supercar, dealing with the increased physical strain of competing in two different categories and having back-to-back races. He finished the 2017 Stadium Super Trucks Barbagallo weekend on the podium with a third place overall.
