MACDONALD SECURES CLASS TWO

Nineteen-year-old Southlander Liam MacDonald secured the class-two title in the BNT NZ Touring Cars after a very impressive campaign that included North Island circuits on which he had never before raced. The class-two championship win is MacDonald’s first national title in what is his first full-time season in the BNT NZ Touring Cars Championship. “It’s bit of a relief; I don’t think it has actually sunk in just yet,” said an elated MacDonald. “I have never raced at most of the North Island circuits, and we’ve picked up wins everywhere we’ve been. It’s been a great season.” MacDonald was the dominant force in the championship, taking a hugely impressive total of 12 race wins over the course of the season. The youngster plans to defend the title next season before moving up the V8-racing ladder.
