“Everyone at Erebus Motorsport V8 hasworked so hard and because of their passion for building these cars, they have worked the required hours necessary to get them here tonight. It’s just aphenomenal effort by all. Betty is the first female owner in V8Supercars and she has already proven that with her passion and determination anything is achievable. It is because of her belief in this project that we are here tonight,” said Erebus Motorsport General Manager Ross Stone.
