MACDONALD SCORES ANOTHER ROUND WIN

Invercargill racing driver Liam MacDonald has scored another round win in Class 2 of the BNT V8’s Championship at Bruce McLaren Motorsport Park in Taupo this weekend.

To do so he had to overcome a fuel problem in the opening race of the round on Saturday which had dropped him down the order late in the race. MacDonald bounced back the following day to record a win on Sunday morning before a second place in the third and final race of the round later in the day.
