“This was something that was first presented to me by Marcos Ambrose, and really anything that Marcos is involved in I jump at.
“I've had conversations with the team from Hi-Tec Oils and I love what they're trying to do with the sport, really get back to what makes racing great again. If I can play a small part in that, that’s something I am very excited to do.
“I’m very excited to see the driving talent that's coming through the ranks as well, there’s a few categories that I'm very passionate about, particularly Formula Ford for me, something close to my heart.
“I raced Formula Ford first in my journey of motorsport, and I'm excited to see the talent coming through the ranks there and get to the opening round.
“I'm very happy to be part of the team, I love what Hi-Tec Oils is doing to support the sport, and I’m very happy to be a part of that journey.”
