V8 Supercars Chairman Tony Cochrane said, “V8 Supercars is very pleased to announce Etihad Airways as our official international airline partner. It is the first airline partner for our sport and we believe it is a fitting partnership between a world-class operator and a world-class sport. Cochrane continued, “Earlier this year approximately 500 V8 Supercars personnel flew to Abu Dhabi on-board Etihad flights for the Yas Marina V8 400 and our experience was second to none. We look forward to V8 Supercar fans being given access to exclusive deals and offers as a result of our new partnership with the airline.” V8 Supercars was recently given international status by the FIA, the governing body of world motor sports, which means it can extend to another five destinations outside Abu Dhabi, Australia and New Zealand. In this context, Etihad’s partnership matches the huge growth potential and future international destinations of the sport. Globally, Etihad’s partnership with V8 Supercars will be highlighted through signage and promotions at select V8 Supercar events and content on Etihad’s in-flight entertainment system. In the coming weeks, V8 Supercars’ website will also carry links to special offers on Etihad Airways flights around the world.

As the field came through the first lap it was the No. 38 Lamborghini in the lead from the No. 11 Exim Bank Team China Corvette of Mike Hezemans and Nicky Catsburg. The field remained tightly bunched however with less than four seconds covering the top eight after five laps, and the order condensed further three laps later when the Safety Car came out. Peter Dumbreck had dived down the inside of the No. 40 Marc VDS Ford GT and looked to have the line, but spun as the Ford refused to cede ground and was collected by the helpless No. 9 Belgian Racing Ford GT - the resulting damage causing a lengthy Safety Car spell.
