Pairing together for the opening round of the Motorsport Australia Logitech G Pro Invitational Cup at Sandown, both drivers shined across the 161 lap encounter, Leading multiple laps and fighting for the win in the later stages of the race against eventual winners Luke Rosella & Harley Haber. An eventual post race penalty would see the 9ine 5ive pair demoted from 2nd, dropping them to 17th after the flag. Although a heartbreaking penalty took away a incredible result, many have been left impressed by both Dylan O’Shea & Corey Macfarlane.

2023 for O’Shea in particular has been somewhat of a breakout year for the 9ine 5ive SimSports driver, multiple high level qualifying performances, backed up by strong race results sees the 9ine 5ive SimSports young gun well placed in the championship in 8th position heading to Bathurst.

Yes, there’s no doubt about it. Their form alone at Sandown is nothing to shy away from. On speed alone, this combination has proven they can be contenders across the whole race distance. If they can remain smart & calculated across the 1000 kilometres of Mount Panorama Bathurst, they will play a major factor late in the race.

O’Shea will definitely be the one leading from the front, providing extreme pace to match the best there is, while Corey Macfarlane will look to replicate his heroics from Sandown, keeping the car well and truely in the fight during his co driver stints.

Keep an eye out for the #19 9ine 5ive SimSports Mustang of Dylan O’Shea & Corey Macfarlane at Bathurst!
