Veteran driver Greg Murphy sets his sights on endurance races Greg Murphy is thrilled to once again be part of a team that will be a hot contender for victory at Bathurst and Sandown. HE won't be on the grid for the Clipsal 500 next month but V8 Supercars veteran Greg Murphy has landed a plum job, co-driving the season's two endurance events with the Holden Racing Team. Red Lion loyalist Murphy was left without a regular 2013 drive after Kelly Racing's move to Nissan. But he has signed to partner either Garth Tander or James Courtney at Bathurst and Sandown. Murphy replaces outgoing Cameron McConville, who this week retired from the enduro program to take up a role as V8 Supercars' driving standards observer. It will be Murphy's first stint in the factory team's colours since 1998. "Life's come full circle and I couldn't be happier, I'm back with the Holden Racing Team where it all started," Murphy said. To be part of the factory Holden team feels very right. I didn't want to be part of a (full-time) team that couldn't provide a strong prospect of winning races, so the best option was driving in the enduros only with a team that gave me a real chance. HRT goes to Sandown and Bathurst to win. This is the best opportunity that I've had to win those races in the past few years. But it was unclear yesterday how Murphy - a four-time Bathurst champion - would slot into the HRT hierarchy. 1 man Tander has co-piloted with SA product Nick Percat in the past two enduro seasons, including a Bathurst victory in 2011. Murphy yesterday had a seat fitting in Tander's soon-to-be-unveiled VF Commodore. Tander confirmed their different height and builds posed no problem for the pair to tag-team, if required. HRT will unveil its new VF Commodore on Monday.
