In 2007 I followed my heart and bought my dream car; a 'classic' MY00 STI.
Little did I know that it would ignite a passion within me that 16 years later burns stronger than ever!
From my first Motorkhana in 2009 to becoming a Driven Motorsport sponsored driver competing in front of thousands of spectators at the Adelaide Motorsport Festival; it has been a wild ride!
My philosophy
Try everything:
There is a whole world of Motorsport out there; Adelaide is not a big city yet it has provided opportunities to try just about all the disciplines available.
Motorkhana, Autocross, Gymkhana, Hill-climbs, Time Attack & Rally
Not to mention wheel to wheel racing!
Smooth & Consistent:
Time after time people comment that I look smooth and controlled on the track, this is great for competitions that reward consistency (Motorkhana & OzGymkhana); but I have realised recently that this also means that I am not pushing to the limit and the car has more to give. My goal now it to push harder where I can without loosing consistency.
Have Fun!
Racing is not for everyone, if you don't enjoy it that's fine.
Motorsport is my passion and I consider myself extremely lucky that I found it because I know a lot of people that lack passion in their lives; without it life can be pretty dull.
