Decina Racing's Warren Luff will step out of his Ford V8 Supercar and into a ☂2005 Porsche Boxౠster S to contest the Alphera Dutton Rally in Sydney this weekend.

Luff, who is currently fifth⭕ in the HPDC V8 Supercar Series, just 42 points behind the lead, will join Motor magazine deputy editor Dean Evans to contest the event.

Joining Evans in a co-driving capacity, Luff is excited by the prospect of challenging a new course and believes the Boxster S is capable of giving the pair a 🐻shot at the overall team title.

"We will certainly be pꦕushing," said Luff. "It is a fun event but♔ all the other entries are really competitive and we know that from an overall team's perspective we actually stand a pretty good chance of victory.

"While the V8 Supercar is my strong focus this year, with the six-week gap between rounds, and the opportunity to drive a Boxster, it wasn't exactly a hard choice to jump on board wᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚ𓃲ith Dean."

Theꩲ Porsche Australia Boxster S, launched earlier this year, will run stock standard producing 206kW from its 3.2-litre mid-mounted flat-six cylinder.

Luff and Evans have previously paired up in the one-make Mitsubღishi♔ Mirage Series. As teammates, the pair dominated the 1999-2001 Mirage one-make series with Luff winning the 1999 and 2000 championships, and Evans winning the 2001 championship.

The pair also combined in a Peugeot at the 2000 Bathurst 3 𒁏Hour, to finish runner-up behind Greg Murph♐y/Steven Richards.

This will be the 2004 V8 Supercar Rookie of the Year's third Dutton experience, after previously contesting the Melbourne rally with good friend James Dutton🌱 in a Mini Cooper.

"I have done the Melbourne rally 💯twice,ꦉ but I haven't tackled the Sydney one yet," said Luff.

The competitive Luff and Evans are aimi♐ng to exploit the stre🌠ngths of the Boxster S and offer a challenge to reigning NSW and Queensland Champions, Martin Notaras and Simon Arthur's Mitsubishi Evolution VIII.

"Obviously all the r🌜ace track based stuff is going to be really good for the Boxster and a lot of the small auto tests that are pretty tight will definitely suit the car.

"The Boxster is such a good overall balanced package and chassis it will be a l🏅ot of fun to throw itꦦ around.

"We are going out there to win for sure,💜 it's why we g🍰o motor racing," said Luff.

This weekend's round of the Alphera Dutton Rally Series takes place around the tracks, streets and motorkhans of Goulburn and Canberra🍎 on the Friday and Saturday with the final day of compet🐎ition being held around Eastern Creek Raceway on Sunday.
