Team CoolDrive Sandown 500 Supercars Preview

8 Nov, 2019

The final round of the Pirtek Enduro Cup will be held this weekend at Sandown International Motor Raceway.

This iconic Retro Round gives Supercar teams the chance to have some fun with old school designs and has quickly turned into a fan favourite. 

Team CoolDrive will take a step back in time for the historic event with Macauley Jones and Dean Canto showcasing a much-loved white, green and red OzEmail livery that was used by the team in the early 2000s. 

In another nod to the past, Macauley will be racing the same number (#21) and livery as dad Brad did 15 years ago. The duo is eager to finish the enduro campaign on a high. 

Broadcast of the race will be LIVE on FOX Sports 506 and Channel Ten across the weekend. Your local TV times and coverage information can be found here - https://www.supercars.com/tv-schedule/
