Reigning V8 Supercar champion Toll HSV Dealer Team has recruited leading Carr♑era Cup drivers Craig Baird and David ﷽Reynolds for this year's endurance races at Sandown and Bathurst.

The pair will put aside their Porsche rivalries to race alongside Bathurst winners Rick Kelly and Garth Tander, and Toll HSV team manager Rob Crawford ꧙admitted to being delighted at having snared two of the best available drivers to support the squad's effort at the two biggest races of the season.

"Craig is a proven champion and has plenty of experience in V8 Super🦋cars, while Dave is one of the best young up-and-comiꦚng talents around in an ultra-competitive category," he said, "They have shown they know how to drive fast while keeping a level head, which is exactly what is needed at Bathurst."

Baird a♔nd Reynolds both agreed to being thrilled at getting a drive with the reigning champions, with Kiwi Baird c🎃laiming that the deal was for 'one of the best seats'.

"Toll HSV is the form t൩eam, and has a great record at Bathurst," he said, "I haven't been in a competitive V8 Supercar for some time, so it is nice to go with the team that's leading the championship."

While Baird will be making his tenth V8 Supercar assault on Bathurst, 2004 Australian Formula Ford ch♒ampion Reynolds will be making his V8 Supercar debut at th🍸is year's endurance rounds.

"It is every kid's dream to race with the best team in the country," the 21-year old said, "Last year, I couldn't get a drive at Sandown or Bathurst, and now these guys, who are probably the most professional ꦐteam in the series, are taking me under their wing🦹. What more could I want?"
