He's proven himself as a formidable talent, and I couldn't be happier to share the track with him as he competes for the championship title."
Darren Chamberlin's history with Highlands Motorsport Park is marked by a memorable moment. In 2015, he piloted a car bearing race number1 at Highlands Motorsport Park, marking his first round as the defending champion. Unfortunately, during that race, Chamberlin came to grief on the Highlands bridge, crashing in spectacular fashion. The Toyota Aurion-bodied car he began the 2015 championship with was later upgraded to the new Camaro shape ,along with an all-new chassis, following the Highlands crash. During that season, Chamberlin secured corporate sponsorship from the Darrell Lea Confectionery Company, proudly carrying their branding for the remainder of the season
As we look forward to the season finale at Highlands Motorsport Park, Chamberlin’s return echoes the rich history of Aussie Racing Cars. It's a reminder that the passion for racing and the drive to compete never truly fade.
