Kiwi motorsport star and Pukekohe local Liam Lawson achieved a career milestone on Saturday as he piloted a Formula 1 car around the famous Bathurst circuit in Australia.
The 20-year-old drove the Red Bull F1 RB7 around the famous Mt Panorama circuit as part of the Bathurst 12 Hour event.
“Just really crazy,” Lawson told Speedcafe about the experience. “The first lap was honestly very daunting going up the hill with all the elevation, and I was quite nervous.
“But by the second lap I actually got quite comfortable, and the car was really good, so I loved it.”
Lawson will compete in the Super Formula in Japan this year while still serving as the reserve driver for the Red Bull Formula 1 outfit.
