Race Retro Historic Motorsport Show UK. For anyone interested in historic motorsport then Race Retro held at Stoneleigh Park, near Coventry, is a must. This year's show paid tribute to 30 years of Porsche's incredible 956, and Honda HRC's world championship winning bikes. Plus the amazing Group B rally cars. It was my first visit to […]

Eastern Creek turned on some heatwave conditions for this year's opening round, with track temperatures climbing towards 60 deg. Anyone on new rubber would need to be patient, or risk wasting a set of fresh tyres. In the end it was an MNR clean sweep of class 5B, with Mark Lowing taking first, his 1:42.1 quick […]

After a lengthy "off" season we finally ran some laps at Eastern Creek on January 16th. Rather than an open test day, Mark Lowing and his MNR Vortx RT+ took part in CAMS innaugral Come & Try day. This is a great initiative by the governing body, allowing newcomers considering motorsport to take a close look […]

Near perfect conditions saw another SVA lap record fall at Eastern Creek. Outright honours once again went to Andre Tan in his V8 Radical posting an amazing 1:30.39, well ahead of Chris Jackson's Calibra sports sedan at 1:37.5. Quickest of the MNRs was Adam Savic, his 1:45.5 a personal best and gaining second place outright in […]

With a long break between NSW supersprint rounds, Mark Lowing and Campbell Wilson decided to take the MNR's to Phillip Island. This was a first time experience for both of them, and the Victorian track's high speed character has left a lasting impression. Another first was the chance to try the Vortx's on R-spec tyres rather […]

Round 6 of the NSW Supersprint Championship saw us back in Goulburn, and despite the wintery conditions some long held records took a battering. There is no stopping Andrie Tan and his Radical SR8 with another win. His 57.19sec lap putting him well down the road from Marek Tomaszewski's R35 GTR (61.34sec) and Duncan Forrest's similar R35 GTR (62.54sec). 4th […]

It's been a hectic couple of month's at Redback. April saw us busy moving into a new workshop, and it's amazing how many "things" you can collect and not see for years. To help christen the new shop the Clubman Driver's Club of Australia held a Sunday breakfast/meeting, with all funds raised from the sale […]

It's been a busy start to the new season for us. A trip to Autosport International in January meant we had to miss the last ever supersprint at Oran Park, so we didn't get a chance to say goodbye to the iconic Sydney circuit. Fortunately Campbell Wilson and Adam Savic were there to fly the […]

While this year has been one of our busiest Presto's work commitments have kept him away from the driver's seat. His only appearance for 2009 netted another outright win at Wakefield Park ahead of Michelle Guyer's March 87B Formula Holden. At short notice ex Formula Ford driver Mark Lowing stepped into the Vortx at June's […]

July saw the team head to Victoria's Winton Raceway for a round of the MSCA sprint series. Always a favourite track from our openwheeler days, the weather was as expected. Wet and cold. At least it gave Presto a chance to try some wet weather set up. From the first lap he had the Vortx […]
