    Skaife is back

    Mark Skaife has confirmed he will race with Greg Murphy in the enduros at Phillip Island and Bathurst for Sprint Gas Racing.

    Skaife joins up again with former HRT team manager Jeff Grech; who is now manager at SGR; and former HRT engineer Mike Henry who is now engineering manager at SGR.

    I think this is a very potent package and has the potential for success, especially with Skaife being able to focus purely on driving unlike his last years with HRT, having to worry about the business side of things as well. Can't wait for the enduros.

    Always wanted to see Skaife and Murph drive together, will be interesting to see how they go, but as a lower placed team not sure if it'll have the pace of the big boys!!

    Also depends if Skaife has learned how to launch in a manual yet..........

    Schumi back in a Ferrari, Skaifey back in a Holden, it all just seems to fit!!!

    Bathurst is always a hit and miss and most teams have a chance of winning with all the variables, but taking crashes and breakdowns out of it, doubt the SGR car will have the pace the HRT/888 cars have!!!

    But will be good to see Skaifey drive again, but maybe they can give him an auto to drive!! Click here to enlarge
