Bathurst 6 Hour 2018 – A great event
For the whole 35 years of my life I’ve never been to a race event at the iconic Bathurst Mount Panorama circuit. Watching the Bathurst 1000 on television has always been a tradition for me, with fond memories of the Group A period in the late 1980’s and early 1990’s through to V8 Supercars and the current generation of Supercars.

Audi S1 Review
I’ve always been a fan of Audi road and race cars therefore jumped at the chance to drive an Audi S1 that was offered to me by CarAdvice. Audi has been very successful at the 24 Hours of Le Mans and were pioneers in introducing all wheel drive and turbocharging in the World Rally Championship. Continue reading “Audi S1 Review”
Holden ZB Commodore Review

Ford Falcon EL XR6 Review
When Tickford joined forces with Ford Australia in the early 1990’s to create the EB XR6 and XR8 Falcon’s, in my opinion it was a return to form for the company.

As a ten year old, I remember reading a copy of Wheels magazine that featured the then new EB Falcon S XR8 with the 5.0 litre V8 Windsor engine. Continue reading “Ford Falcon EL XR6 Review”
Noble M12 GTO-3R
I’ve always had a fascination with lightweight sports cars, particularly ones built in low volumes by lesser known car manufacturers. British car designer and engineer Lee Noble founded Noble in 1999. He has been engineering, building and racing his own cars for decades with a focus on lightweight cars with powerful engines. One of his cars really stands out for me and this is the Noble M12 GTO-3R. Continue reading “Noble M12 GTO-3R”
Maserati 250F and Stirling Moss
It’s always a highlight going to the Australian Formula 1 Grand Prix to watch the Historic Demonstration. Watching some of the great ex-Formula One cars, sportscars and Le Mans racers make their way around the Melbourne Grand Prix circuit is always memorable for me. In my opinion, the sights and sounds of these cars far exceed what we have currently competing in Formula One. Continue reading “Maserati 250F and Stirling Moss”
