Garth Tander signs multi-year deal with HRT

By

Garth Tander has extended his current contract with Holden Racing Team to a new multi-year deal.
”It’s great to sign a new deal with the Holden Racing Team. It’s an exciting time for the team, with the structural changes made before the start of the season starting to bear fruit. I really believe in what we’re doing, so it’s great to be part of that,” said Tander.

Tander, currently placed 14th overall with third as so far best finish in 2014, has started his seventh season with HRT this year.
“We’re over the moon with Garth re-signing, and committing the next stage of his future, to the Holden Racing Team,” said HRT Managing Director Adrian Burgess.

“Consistency within the engineering group and drivers is especially important for our long-term development. As a driver, he’s the total package. He’s won over 50 races, including Bathurst three times, and he’s a champion. So he’s got everything we need to help drive the engineers and the team forward.”

Next up for Tander and HRT is the Perth 400 this weekend at Barbagallo Raceway where he hopes to score strongly.

“I always love racing at home in Perth. So, it’s great to be able to announce the contract extension prior to the weekend because I’ve had so much support from everyone in Western Australia. Hopefully we can celebrate it with a great race weekend on-track as well,” said Tander.
