KTM Bathurst 12 Hour driver line-up revealed

The KTM XBow will return for a second LIQUI MOLY Bathurst 12 Hour attempt with Supercars talent.

Jayden Ojeda will make his 12 Hour debut alongside car owner David Crampton, Trent Harrison and Glen Wood.

The XBOW, which made its 12 Hour debut last year, will be run by M Motorsport and Vantage Racing.

Ojeda has three Bathurst 1000 starts to his name, and also made three wildcard starts for Walkinshaw Andretti United last year.

The Xbow will be a renewed force in 2023 given recent engine works.

The KTM is the first 'GT2' specification car to compete in the Bathurst 12 Hour.

It is part of a six-strong Invitational class, which includes a Marc II V8 and Sin R1.

"We're really pleased and excited to be coming back to Bathurst,” Crampton said.

"With a years' worth of experience under our belts we know what the car is capable of and we're looking forward to a competitive race.

"KTM have been fantastic in supporting us and their efforts to get us an engine in time ensured we could make the grid.

"It's up to us to do the job and fly the flag well for them now.

"The driving line-up is exciting. Glen and Trent have been driving with me a for a long time, they know me and the car really well and we all get on superbly.”

On Ojeda, Crampton said: "Jayden is a great talent and it's good to be able to give a young guy a shot.

"He and I train together and do a lot of simulator work and coaching, so it makes sense to have him in the car. It's exciting.

"Justin and the team at M Motorsport are well prepared and we can't wait to get up to the Mountain."
