Early in his career, Carl constructed his own Laser TX3 of the FWD persuasion and nabbed himself the cover of New Zealand Performance Car with his immaculately constructed JRCOZY. Over the next five years together they would win more than 30 trophies, win two consecutive Turbo 2WD National drag championships and in 2014 set a front-wheel-drive street-tyre record — a record that still holds today. Now Carl Robertson Racing has progressed to tarmac rallying with their new 4WD toy, WRCOZY, which debuted here at Leadfoot Festival 2018.

1989 Ford Laser GTX:

This Laser tarmac rally car was campaigned in the early 2000s by Neil MacFarquhar and has now fallen into the hands of fellow Laser fanatic Carl, who brought it back to life after 10 years in storage. Carl and Neil owned the two most modified Lasers in the country, with Carl managing to purchase the vehicle early in 2017. The Evolution 7 running gear has made this little weapon no longer prone to the Mazda/Ford drive-line curse! 2020 sees a 4G63 Evo engine proto set up added to the package to give some much needed torque for the hill we all know as Leadfoot.
