If preparation is any guide, Jamie Whincup and Paul Dumbrell are a rolled gold chance to repeat their 2013 Sandown triumph this weekend. <\/p>\n
The form lines have converged for Whincup - who boasts a championship lead, a last-start win at the Melbourne circuit and a co-driver given every opportunity to practise in the Red Bull Holden. <\/p>\n
Dumbrell's time in Whincup's seat is in stark contrast to last year, when he came into the endurance races without similar preparation. <\/p>\n
Last year's edition of the 500km race was a classic, with Whincup racing through the field to win after the team copped a drive-through penalty for a spinning wheel in pit lane. <\/p>\n
With the 2014 race on Sunday, Whincup is hoping that Dumbrell's hours both in the Dunlop Development series and his own Commodore become a big factor. <\/p>\n
\"Paul wasn't completely comfortable in the car last year because he hadn't driven all year,\" he said. <\/p>\n
\"We've rectified that this year, he's done a heap of laps in the development series, he's done laps in my car at test days. <\/p>\n
\"We'll give him everything he needs, it's up to me to give him a balanced racecar, hopefully he gets the most out of himself.\" <\/p>\n
