Needless to say the car is impressive: space frame chassis + LS7 + 6 speed sequential = weapon.
Coming off his first win at Hampton Downs the team were chasing the set up most of the weekend but he still managed to wrestle top 5s at Ruapuna which is promising considering the quality of the field. He is looking strong as a championship contender.
