The Flying Formula 500’s will compete this weekend in their first event of the summer season when they take on the high banks of the Perth Motorplex for the Grand Opening Showdown! A solid field of twenty two cars has nominated for what will be the first hit out in a while for some drivers, while others have got some track time in the off season and will be looking to use the extra experience to their advantage. Headlining the field for this weekend is none other than Tom Hooper, who had a breakout year last season, winning the State Title and the Perth Motorplex Track Championship. He will be hoping to continue his solid form into the new season and will throw do everything it takes to achieve this. Of course, he is sure to be challenged by a whole host of other drivers, namely former Australian Matt Brown, former feature race winners Mark House, Chris Dymock, Adrian Haywood and Troy Johnson, as well as a host of new young talent, including standout brothers Jamie and Luke Nardini. Lizz Plummer returns to racing after a season off, while Jamie Pages, David Carstairs and Anton Porro have nominated after sporadic appearances in the last few years, while names like Glenn Carstairs, Cameron McKenzie, Shane Andersson and Brock Nanovich amongst many others all know what it takes to run up the front and will be doing everything they can to get up there once again. It is set to be another huge season for the WA Formula 500’s and it all kicks off at the Perth Motorplex this Saturday night, so make sure you bring someone to hold onto!
