Ex Supercar Drivers
Every year there is a turnover of Supercar drivers.
Some have well publicised departures (recently Bright, Kelly and Moffat); others just "disappear. This can be due to sponsorship changes, or the mechanics thinking he was too hard on the car, etc. etc. Thinking about this I came up with the ten names below that you just don't hear anything about now. These are in no particular order: 1....Dale Brede 2....Alan Gurr 3....Steve Ellery 4....Paul Romano 5....Simon Wills 6....Michael Patrizi 7....Adam Macrow 8....Marcus Marshall 9....Greg Ritter 10...Cameron McLean What happened to them, and what are they doing now? |

A few of them are probably on Facebook and such.
Macrow ran in the 12 Hour recently and it was his first race in a few years, there was an article on Speedcafe saying that he wanted to make a comeback. Cameron McLean has a mechanic's shop somewhere on the Brisbane northside. Last edited by simonracer; 23 Feb 2018 at 06:00. |

Does't Michael Patrizi have a go kart business / race team / hire ( in association with Daniel Ricciardo )? There was a video on youtube recently with Whincup and SvG at some track and it was run by MP.

Presumably for Kalari Transport, his father Tony Noske's business and (part?) sponsor of Tony's racing Commodore back in the day? Unless Tony sold out and moved on. hrug:

I have a feeling that Tony sold out in the mid-late 1990's. He then set up Noske Heavy Haulage or Oversize (big rigs moving big gear) which is, sadly, no longer around.
He may well have shied away from motorsport after the WePaySlowly experience Last edited by Just Do It!; 26 Feb 2018 at 06:10. |
