Damian Cudlin will replace injured Vincent Philippe in the Suzuki Endurance
Racing Team at this weekend’s Suzuka 8-Hour World Endurance Championship second
round in Japan.
The 33-year-old Australian SERT stand-in rider joined
reigning World Champions Anthony Delhalle and Erwan Nigon at the official Suzuka
test at the beginning of the month as Philippe recovers from a serious arm
injury sustained during the opening round at the Bol d’Or in April.
Team
Manager Dominique Meliand said: “Vincent has had a few problems recovering from
his injury and will have to undergo another operation, but we can rely on
Damian, who will do anything to keep his place, although he must reduce errors,
prevent any falls and face a very high level of competitors. But he is a man who
has every chance of succeeding.
"Suzuka is a special race for us because
it is held on a fabulous track; one of the most beautiful in the world, it’s big
and it is fast. The hot and humid climatic conditions are also very-much part of
the challenges that we face up-to in this race because the physical conditions
are very different from those encountered on the European circuits."
SERT will be supported by the Suzuki factory at the 37th Coca Cola
Zero-sponsored event with a strong turn-out of Suzuki Motor Corporation
employees and management being present for what looks to be one of the most
hotly-contested events in its history.
A full event preview to follow
later this week with details of the other top Suzuki contenders including the
two Yoshimura Suzuki and Kagayama teams.
