MRTeam recently purchased a VS Holden Commodore V8 Supercar that was built for the 2001 race season with the VT specs current at that time. The car has a 'Rob Benson' 18 degree V8 Chev Motor that was originally built for Wayne Gardener in 2003 for the Bathurst 1000 and has been recently rebuilt with the latest five dog 6 speed Holinger gearbox. The car also has a 'Harrop' braking assembly, suspension and alloy differential, with 'Ohlin' 2-way adjustable shock absorbers and all the components required in a highly competitive race car. The car has been well maintained over the years making it the ideal car for a promising career in the Touring Car Challenge Series.

Independent Race Series Touring Car Challenge showcases the past 20 years of Australian Touring Car History featuring ex-V8 Supercars, Super Tourers, Future Tourers and Group A cars all battling it out on track for the Title. The diversity of the cars in this class makes for very close and competitive racing - the raw power and grunt of the ex-V8 Supercars gives them the advantage on the fast circuits, but the more nimble handling and braking of the smaller cars gives them the advantage on the tighter circuits. The overall winner at the end of the series is equally achievable by any, which only serves to make the Touring Car Challenge all the more exciting.
