2004-05: Debut in the enduros

With their appilcation accepeted they went straight into it with only a one car team to begin. They went on the search to find 2 drivers to drive and they called Owen Kelly and Luke Youden to be the first drivers to compete. The pair struggled in their two races together as they could only muster up a DNF in both endurance races.

2005 was the same as they only competed in the enduros for the second time running with the same pairing of Luke Youden and Owen Kelly. The team had shown with Owen Kelly getting the team into the top 10 shootout, but a puncture during their shootout lap would cost their chance of a pole. That where it ended as a 24th in Sandown and 22nd in Bathurst.
