Murphy decision likely Thursday
Murphy decision likely Thursday
V8 SuperTourer series leader Greg Murphy will know on Thursday this week if he is able to race at the second round of the new series at the Powerbuilt Tools Raceway this Easter weekend following an operation to repair a ruptured disc in his back.
The Mike Pero Holden driver had been troubled by the injury which he suffered in a 2010 crash and re-injured in his recent massive shunt during qualifying at the 2012 season-opening Clipsal 500 in Adelaide.
The two-time Bathurst winner will get the nod from medical advisers either way on Thursday, and has told V8 SuperTourers officials that he plans to be at the Christchurch venue whether he is racing or not.
A number of names have been mentioned in connection with the M3 Racing seat for the South Island race should Murphy not run, but CEO Paul Radisich commented: “Greg is the championship leader and a crowd favourite so everyone is holding out as long as they possibly can for him. It’s his call. Having said that, if it is not possible for him to race we do know there are a couple of big name drivers out there very keen indeed to step in for a one-off appearance.”
