CIRCULAR THINKING

- Nikk Macrae, email

THE other day I had a thought train, and it all stemmed from Chris Marechal’s Mustang (SM, Mar ’17) and the Optima Ultimate Street Car Invitation­al. How good would it be if such an event existed here? At the moment, most of the focus in Australia is on burnouts and drag racing. With the exception of the driving events at Summernats, there is very little in the way of circuit racing to test a car’s performanc­e. But just imagine the top cars from Summernats, Motorex, etc, in a time attack competitio­n? It would be a great way to test and prove all the talented engineerin­g work carried out by our craftspeop­le! We already have some great pro touring-themed cars ready to go.

It could even lead to cars being built to the level of Chris’s ’Stang right here!
