As the Super2 team prepares to challenge the second-tier series in Hidden Valley, a key driver shortage looms large. With the Albury-based team having returned to the fray this season, their Holden ZB Commodores were leased from Walkinshaw, a partnership that proved instrumental in their success. However, a pivotal moment came when Ex-Eggleston Motorsport driver Jordyn Sinni joined Chahda at the Sydney season opener, a move that sparked anticipation. Sinni had intended to complete the full season but was met with a deadline for a replacement in Darwin, a city where the team struggled with logistics and budget constraints. Team boss Amin Chahda expressed hope for Sinni’s return, citing her strong performance in Sydney, where she finished in the top six despite a mechanical failure that left her stranded. 'We tried everything,' Chahda said, highlighting the challenges faced by drivers like Sinni. The MCM team, known for its reliance on Walkinshaw’s machinery, saw Sinni’s qualifications in Sydney as a turning point, which helped secure her position in Darwin. Meanwhile, other teams like Blanchard Racing’s Lochie Dalton and Brad Jones Racing’s Brad Vaughan remained tied at the top, thanks to their wins in Sydney. The season resumes at the Darwin Triple Crown from June 19-21, with the focus shifting toward overcoming these hurdles. As drivers navigate the complexities of the circuit, the question remains: what changes will arise from such driver shortages and how will the competition evolve?
