With less than a week remaining prior to the start of the 2007 WPS Bathurst International Motor Festival teams are working feverously to ensure their machines are fully prepared for the WPS 12-Hour Showroom Enduro at Mount Panorama, Bathurst.

Australia s World Rally Championship star Chris Atkinson will lead the way for the Subaru Motorsport entry in the feature event. With the young Queenslander pairing up with Australian and Asia-Pacific Rally Champion Cody Crocker and Western Australian Dean Herridge the trio will make a formidable combination to battle for outright honours.

Atkinson has finished on the podium in a round of the World Rally Championship and is currently seventh in the standings after last weekend s fifth round in Portugal. He jetted out of Europe last night to arrive in time for this weekend s WPS Bathurst 12-Hour Showroom Enduro.

The second Subaru entry will be driven by media personality, and part time V8 Supercar driver, Grant Denyer, former Bathurst 12-Hour race winner Neil Crompton and rising star Chris Alajajian.

Holden Motorsport will be out to chase outright honours with its lead Holden Astra VXR Coupe which will be driven by V8 Supercar drivers Jason Richards, Shane Price and Jack Perkins. Nathan Pretty, who was a part of the winning team during the inaugural 24-Hour race at Bathurst, completes the four driver line-up.
