Morgan Names Bathurst Drivers

Heading down under for the end of the month

---

Two highly competitive drivers are set to join Morgan Works Team anchors Neil Cunningham and Adam Sharpe for the 24 hour endurance race at Bathurst, Australia on Nov 22nd-23rd.

Keith Ahlers, whose own Cup Class Morgan Aero 8 recently registered a highly creditable third place overall in the 2003 British GT Cup Championship and who is widely acknowledged as the driver to beat in Morgan club racing, will join his erstwhile British GT rival Cunningham in the Works-supported car entered by Sharpe Motorsport.

He is accompanied by Tom Shrimpton, already a veteran of a high-profile British GT season despite his tender age – he will celebrate his 18th birthday just a few days before boarding for the long flight to the Bathurst race. During a season which included drives with Marcos and Porsche, he scored several podium finishes and made history by becoming the youngest ever driver to win a Cup Class race outright at Spa.

The guys will freak when they see the circuit. No-one is EVER ready for it. Ask Mr Short about last year. I've raced there it's scary scary
