Rumours have provided a setback to the planned progression of Newcastle youngster Drew Russell through the Australian motorsport ranks in recent weeks.
After winning Class A in the 2005 Australian Production Car Championship and finishing a narrow second in the outright standings, the 17-year old canvassed his options for the next step in his racing career.
After careful deliberation, it was decided to aim for a step up to the Fujitsu V8 Supercar Series. A car has been earmarked for Global Racing Industries to purchase to run in the series, however financing the purchase is dependant on selling the team’s Honda S2000.
Global Racing Industries team owner Wayne Russell feels the chances of selling the car and progressing have been hampered by rumours within the production car ranks.
