Tony Auddino has announced that he will trade his current Image Racing Commodore, in favour for a SBR FG Falcon at next weekend’s VAILO Adelaide 500.

For the Adelaide round, Auddino will drive an ex-Stone Brothers Racing Ford Falcon, a car with a strong pedigree—it was originally driven by Tim Slade to a fifth-place finish in the 2012 Supercars Championship. This connection is particularly poignant as Slade himself will be stepping away from full-time Supercars racing at the end of this season.

“I am happy to announce we will be at the VAILO Adelaide 500 as part of the Super3 Dunlop Series,” Auddino shared on his social media.

“Unlike previous rounds, I will be driving the Image Racing FG Falcon instead of the VF Commodore.

“This marks the end of an era as it is the last round of the Dunlop series for 2024 and the last time an FG Falcon will be eligible for the competition.

“It is also significant as it is the car that Tim Slade debuted in for Stone Brothers Racing in 2012 and now in his last full-time appearance in the Supercars Championship.

“Unfortunately, it is likely to be our last Dunlop Series race, but we are grateful for the support of our sponsors and look forward to hitting the track.”

The Dunlop Series will head into their final round in Adelaide and with Cody Burcher already crowned Super3 champion, the Super2 title is still well up for grabs with Dominator, Kai Allen fell to third after his Bathurst shunt.

With 2 laps to go, championship contender Kai Allen made a costly mistake from 3rd position at the final corner, he landed awkwardly from the Turn 13 curb which caused a lock up of both front wheels and ran wide, he returned to the track to finish in 7th spot.
