Nicknames: Gazza

My favourite car: 1953 FX Holden

I became involved in motorsport because... I was inspired by my father.

My greatest achievement so far... "Driver of the Year 2008" - the National Karting Magazine award, as well as national and state karting titles and achieving my goal of top five at the 2009 Nikon GP on the Gold Coast in the Aussie Car.

Best advice I ever received... "To finish first, you first must finish".

My perfect meal is... Mum's Lasagne 

Five people I would invite to dinner... Mark Winterbottom, Steve Kinser, Tony Stewart, Angelina Jolie and Miranda Kerr. 

The person I look up to the most is... My parents

If I wasn’t a race driver, I would be... Playing tennis but cannot imagine not racing.

My first race win was... A club day at Rochester Karting Track
