Yoong for Bathurst

Former F1 driver Alex Yoong is to race in the Bathurst 24 Hour race in November. The Malaysian will race a BMW320i for SAE Racing. Yoong has been looking for work in recent weeks after failing to come up with the budget he needed to continue in CART.

The Bathurst 24 Hours is not to be confused with the Bathurst 1000, the touring car classic which is held for V8 Supercars in October each year.
