THE Bottle-O Racing Team has moved early and re-signed Dean Canto for this year’s Sandown and Bathurst endurance races.
The two-time V8 Supercars Development Series champion will drive the #55 FPR-prepared and run Falcon for the third straight year after sharing it in 2010 and 2011 with Paul Dumbrell.
He previously was also an endurance driver for Ford Performance Racing in 2008 and 2009.
“I am really happy to be with the team again as we came on strong last year as the season progressed after we sorted a few things,” Canto said.
“With that in mind I can see us starting strong this year and given our form last year in the enduros I think we will have a very competitive package.
“Last year we had our potential high finish at Bathurst cruelly taken away from us so even though the end result was out of our control, we can build on that speed and have a better year in 2012.”
Canto will reacquaint himself with the #55 The Bottle-O Ford this Saturday where he will drive for the first time this year at V8 Supercars’ season launch test day at Sandown in Melbourne.
An announcement on the full-time driver of the #55 Falcon is expected shortly, especially given the official test day at Sandown is looming quickly.
