Conor Somers will make a return to the Porsche Michelin Sprint Challenge grid at Symmons Plains Raceway this weekend.

The 20-year-old was involved in a spectacular roll over during qualifying at Townsville last month.

The damage sustained in the incident was extensive and required a complete re-shell including replacing around 90 percent of components in the car.

The team at Sonic Motor Racing Services has poured many days and hours into the rebuilding of Somers’ Porsche, ensuring the car is back on track for the penultimate round of the series at the Tasmanian circuit.

“It took a lot of work to get the car ready, but it’s back, on the way to Tasmania, and I can’t wait to get back in it,” said Somers.

“Alongside the team, I have worked on the car basically every day since it got back from Townsville to get it ready.

“It was a huge effort by the team to get it back, so I can’t thank the team at Sonic along with the generous support of many friends and supporters for helping me get back on track.

“I raced at Symmons Plains in Formula Ford last year. This will be a totally different experience, but at least I know what way the track goes.”

Somers’ Porsche will compete in an all-white livery at the Symmons Plains circuit.

Somers’ team-mate Jake Santalucia, enjoyed a strong round at Queensland Raceway, scoring three top 10 results and keeping himself in the hunt for a top five finish in his rookie year in the series.

Practice and qualifying for Porsche Michelin Sprint Challenge will be held on Friday, followed by the three races on Saturday and Sunday.
