sTEPHEN HITS THE aLBERT pARK tRACK

The Australian F1 Grand Prix is back in town for 2010 . For the second year in a row Mercedes Benz had a AMG drive day at the Grand prix circuit starting at 6am till 1pm. ‘ It’s great to back on the track in the awesome AMG brand new E63 “ said Stephen. There was a whole host of celeb’s from Hamish and Andy and I had the pleasure of Shannon Ponton  and Michelle Bridges from The Biggest Loser. I gave Shannon some driving tips while tearing around the circuit and he gave me some fitness tips. “ Fair trade I say ‘. Stephen is still finalising his plans for 2010, and looking forward to getting behind the wheel of a Fujitsu V8 Supercar again.

February started with a bANG!

“ Lets get 2010 started with a BANG “ said Stephen when having his first steer of a V8 Supercar for 2010. How lucky am I, on my come back to professional driving again to have 3 V8 tests in 6 months.  A total of just over 30 laps now in the bank. After testing  with Jay Motorsport in November 2009 in 45deg heat. It was time for another drive, and this time, at the fast Phillip Island circuit in early  February.  The  ex pole position Bathurst BA falcon of Mark Larkham was the vehicle. My first drive of a BA falcon, isn’t it amazing how different every car feels. I did a total of a dozen laps under the eyes of car owner Terry Whyhoon. “ Stephen did a great job in our car, he showed good speed straight away and that he can still do the job ”. Still finalising sponsor deals, Stephen said “ Really looking forward to signing a deal and  competing at the first round in Adelaide at the Clipsal 500 in March ".  

The last project for 2009

The last project for 2009, Kia add for utube and the Australian Tennis Open. Imagine 16 drivers roaring around a car park at the Docklands in Melbourne. We had one practice day before performing the show. Pressure on, working out  who was going to do what and try different configurations to see what works best and maximise the Kia car for the Tennis 2010.  One of the first exercise’s was a windmill with all 16 drivers, then a Tennis ball,  a Racket, plus some driving and finishing up with spelling the word Kia to finish. After driving around and around and around and around it was finished. It was great fun and a great way to finish the year.   Link is below.
