Post Oz Racers

Alex,
The international racing scene would be flooded with talented young Aussies if it were not for one single reason. Money.
Motorsport is struggling here to be seen as a professional sport in a country dominated by Football & Cricket. Our tallented drivers simply cannot get funding for international drives. And it shits me.A few lucky ones make it.
Mark Webber would be a serious contender in F1 if he could get a ride in a decent car, he CAN drive!
Marcos Ambrose CAN drive & next year is stepping up from racing trucks to the Busch series in NASCAR
Until we get a few CEO petrol heads we will continue to be too far & few between on the international racing scene.
