Dave Casey Kicks Off the 2023 V8 SuperUte Series at the Perth SuperSprint

The opening round of the 2023 V8 SuperUte Series brought Dave Casey and the team to WA for the 2023 Bosch Power Tools Perth SuperSprint. Perth’s premier circuit, Wanneroo Raceway, would host four races across the event, giving the team a huge weekend of racing to look forward to. Round 1 of the 2023 V8 SuperUte Series would also see the team debut a new and improved Bendix Racing Dmax Superute based on Isuzu’s current iteration of the ever-popular Dmax.

The V8 SuperUte festivities would begin Friday morning with a practice session that would see Dave clock 12 laps around Wanneroo with a best time of 1m07.13s – the 12^th fastest out of the 19-car grid. Dave would go even faster in the afternoon’s qualifying session, piloting his Dmax for 13 laps to a P8 qualifying result thanks to a fastest time of 1m06.35s. Dave had the following to say to wrap up Friday’s outing.

Dave Casey: “I’m really happy with qualifying, 8th is my best in SuperUtes ever. To come out top-10 with such huge experience in the field is a good indicator if you’re on the pace. The braking performance is better in this new Dmax compared to last year’s car for sure.”

Race 1 kicked off the SuperUtes action on Saturday morning with Dave Casey battling in the Bendix Racing Dmax SuperUte to retain his P8 position from start to finish across the 15-lap race. Race 2 would commence later in the day and feature a reversed-grid start. After another 15 laps of Wanneroo and some hard-fought battles, Dave would bring the Dmax home to another P8 finish.

The green flag would fly on Race 3 in the early hours of Sunday morning. Dave would show consistent pace and after 11 laps, would cross the chequered flag in P8. Race 4 would cap off the weekend with Dave earning himself a P7 race result. The weekend’s culmination of hard-fought racing would earn Dave and the team an outright P7 result to wrap up the 2023 Bosch Power Tools Perth SuperSprint.

The 2023 V8 SuperUte Series continues in 3 months’ time when the team heads to NSW for the 2023 Beaurepaires Sydney SuperNight from July 28-30.
