From press release
DTM stars Andy Priaulx (BMW) and Mattias Ekstrom (Audi) teamed up to drive the Xbox One Racing team's Holden Commodore VF in the Supercheap Auto Bathurst 1000, a 161-lap enduro in Bathurst. They managed to reach the top 10.
"I am very happy," admitted Priaulx.
"I think that was where we expected to be. It was a solid job and we were able to run with the top guys.
"To be leading such an iconic race, on one of the best tracks in the world, while competing against these guys who race in the V8 Supercars week in week out was unbelievable."
The race was eventually won by the Ford of Mark Winterbottom/Steve Richards, with Jamie Whincup/Paul Dumbrell second in their Holden and Craig Lowndes/Warren Luff also in a Holden third.
Priaulx and Ekstrom will now fly back to Europe, where they will face off in the final race of the DTM in Hockenheim on 20th October.
