It\u2019s the most raw car to drive, with the big sequential shifter and you\u2019ve got three pedals. No assists. It\u2019s just very raw, very loud.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s sick around this track as well, lots of kerbs, camber, stuff like that. It would be amazing to see them race here one day.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Quinn, who also owns Highlands, has pushed for the venue to host a Supercars race in the recent past.<\/p>\n<p>It was, however, overlooked as the second part of the new-for-2026 double-header in favour of Ruapuna.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><a data-bid=\"1\" data-no-instant=\"1\" href=\"https:\/\/t.cfjump.com\/92797\/b\/285249\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" target=\"_blank\"><br \/><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"border: none; vertical-align: middle;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/1766394016_956_285249.gif\" alt=\"\"\/><br \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"RB driver Liam Lawson.
