<\/p>\nDylan O\u2019Keeffe is aiming to reproduce his strong previous form at Darwin\u2019s Hidden Valley Raceway in Round 2 of the Porsche Paynter Dixon Carrera Cup Australia this weekend, as he looks to bounce back from a tough opening round at the Australian Grand Prix.<\/p>\n
Hidden Valley was the scene of O\u2019Keeffe\u2019s maiden round win in 2018 and he finished on the podium at the venue last year.<\/p>\n
O\u2019Keeffe and his GWR\/RAM Motorsport team recently tested the Dexion Porsche 992 GT3 at Winton, and while the test day was hampered by wet weather, O\u2019Keeffe said they still learned plenty.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhile the rain at our test wasn\u2019t ideal, we still came away with some valuable information and I feel like we\u2019re heading to Hidden Valley better prepared than last year.<\/p>\n
\u201cGoing back through last year\u2019s Darwin data with my engineer Rob, we identified many areas for improvement so I feel like we\u2019re in good shape this weekend.\u201d<\/p>\n
The hot weather conditions always challenge drivers in Darwin but O\u2019Keeffe feels he and his rivals are all up to the task.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe drivers at the front of the Carrera Cup field all train hard, so I don\u2019t think the heat will be too much of an issue,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe key will be making sure the car looks after its tyres over the weekend and that we\u2019ve still got some decent tyres at our disposal by Race 3 on Sunday.\u201d<\/p>\n
This weekend\u2019s three races will be shown live on Fox Sports and Kayo.<\/p>\n
