Nothing like debuting a car on our channel and what an absolute ripper this one is, a car that made it into the Top 60 Elite at Summernats on it’s First time out in 2020… And went onto win Grand Champion at Red Centre Nats in 2022!!
And it’s not all show/go either, this is a true street/strip car with the owner doing a 160km round cruise just a couple of Sundays ago – what an absolut gem of a wellbody HQ ute.
The ute did not muck around and pulled some solid numbers for one of it’s first outings, and with a track that was hungry for power it provided a good solid foundation to start getting into the tuning side of what the car is capable of doing.
Very much looking forward to watching the progression on this one and having this one back on the channel very soon!
If you haven’t seen the behind the scenes documentary on what went into the track for the upcoming days prior to this event go and have a look!
The prep video has been months in the making – with alot of thought, effort and preparation behind the scenes (and we mean ALOT) to make this a truly unique and educational watch for anyone interested in learning just what it takes to turn a track from ‘ok’ to ‘elite’!
Seeing some of the W.A Radial Cars finally get the track they’ve been dreaming of here at the Perth Motorplex in Western Australia was a huge deal, and it’s definitely only just the beginning now that we’ve seen what is actually capable.
Check out the interviews with the experts – Justin, Lorenzo and Brendan to get the ins and outs of the weekend and what it took to put this educational documentary together.
