What started out as an off-the-cuff remark over lunch with his accountant about reducing tax debt, Mr Naa's plans to form a team in the ASFC came to fruition, with the purchase of a pair of re-skinned Walkinshaw-built Commodores at a suspiciously low price. With a solid driver line-up that almost included Renee Gracie, an audacious move that was thwarted by not being able to find an engineer proficient in emoji-speak at such short notice, the team is confident of a modest debut season.
D-Sport has yet to finalise its Pirtek Enduro Cup driver line-up, but it is understood that Michael Patrizzi has put himself in the frame for one of the seats. Mr Naa declined to comment on the matter, and Speedcafe has rejected Mr Patrizzi's calls.
