After military service and some years in international security work, Shane returned to New Zealand. Having owned many performance cars and MX bikes, a major knee injury forced a move to caged competition. After competing in a scratch built rotary escort and drives in a BDA escort, Shane purchased his current class 10 WRX extreme Subaru competing in Time Attack Superlap, achieving 3rd place in Pro Street 4WD 2019, Targa NZ Class 10 Extreme and Leadfoot 2019 with a best time of 55.36s. Shane is pleased to be back and aiming to achieve a low 50s run.

2007 Subaru Impreza WRX Sti Spec C:

The WRX was built new by Possum Bourne Motorsport as a spare for the Motor Image Team to FIA group N specifications for the Asia Pacific rally championships but was never used. Shane purchased it in 2015 with only 3000km on it and unscratched. The WRX had not competed until Targa Hawkes Bay 2017 where the gearbox failed landing off a bridge in stage ten. HiTech Motorsport upgraded it with a new 2.2 forged stroker engine, sequential gearbox, AP brakes, Speedline wheels and heavier diffs and axles. The car build was featured in Classic Car magazine Behind the Garage Door.
