“The ‘world’s fastest Maori’ Marty Roestenburg is targeting a place on the podium and the fastest Kiwi driver title at the 2006 Silverstone Race to the Sky in his powerful H6 Subaru Impreza WRX.
Roestenburg put the car, developed by David and Linda Loughlin of Tauranga, through its paces for the first time last year taking out fifth place overall.
He was disappointed with the result but this year is confident of improving his position in the Subaru, which is powered by a twin turbo charged 3.0litre, six cylinder Legacy engine, and produces 6-650 horsepower.”
“Last year I made a couple of serious cornering mistakes which cost me a lot of time. I am determined that won’t happen this year. We have also made some improvements to the car which is now lighter, stronger and faster.”
