History

Purchased new in 2003 and served as my primary road car for about 5 years before getting the urge to track it.

Since then, the car has been stripped out and transformed into a pure track sprint and regularity car.

Appears annually (October) at Winton Raceway competing in the AROCA 12 hour Relay Regularity event as part of the ClubMINI Motorsport Team, as well as Sandown and Phillip Island at various club sprint events.
