With over 30 years of racing, Steve has competed in and been involved in all sorts. He began at club events like hill climbs, sprints and motokanas. Then he progressed to the Wellington Street Race back in the 1980s and numerous national and international rallying events, plus karting at both a local and national level.
Steve has also competed in circuit racing throughout New Zealand.
This is Steve’s sixth visit to Leadfoot, and the second time in something other than his F40 replica. He has a wide range of experience in circuit and rally cars and also spent a few years in karts. He is looking forward to showing off the new addition to the fleet, his reincarnation of a 1984 Toyota Starlet Group A rally car.
