Alex Buncombe

International GT sensation and Nissan factory driver Alex Buncombe heads down under again in 2015, returning to steer with Todd Kelly in the PIRTEK Enduro Cup as part of the NISMO Global Driver Exchange program.

The Nissan factory driver swaps his usual Nissan GT-R GT3-spec car – that he contests the Blancpain Endurance Series in Europe with – for the in the #7 Nissan Altima V8 Supercar throughout the PIRTEK Enduro Cup.

The transition between cars proved to be easy for the 32-year-old Brit in 2014, finishing inside the top ten alongside Kelly in his maiden run of the Supercheap Auto Bathurst 1000. While it was a strong result for his first campaign of the Great Race, Buncombe was no stranger to Mount Panorama, having contested the Bathurst 12-Hour alongside Australian Team Boss Rick Kelly earlier that year, which disappointingly ended in a DNF.
