From there he never looked back, and he currently holds 4x New Zealand Supertruck titles along with 3x track records including the ‘Supertruck class’ record at ‘Race to the Sky’. He raced 2x seasons in the NZV8 class, and was 2007/8 Rookie of the Year. In 2015 he was 2nd Overall NIEDRS 1 hour Championship, and 1st in the 6 Hour with Sam Fillmore.

Nissan NISMO Leaf RC:

The Nissan Leaf Nismo RC is a 100% electric racing machine produced as a prototype in 2011. It employs the same power unit as the mass-produced Nissan Leaf, however the motor is a mid-ship rear wheel drive layout with the battery box housed in the rear-end of a carbon monocoque. It utilises double wishbone-style rear suspension and AP racing brakes all round. In July 2011, the car participated in England’s most popular motorsport event, the Goodwood Festival of Speed, leaving a distinctive motor and inverter sound in its wake. Thanks to the carbon monocoque and other lightweight parts, the curb weight of the Nissan Leaf Nismo RC is just 925kg – a third less than that of the passenger model. Maximum outputs for this car are 80kW and 280Nm giving a 0-100kph time of just over 6 seconds.
Clark and Andrew Porter will be giving this car a run.
