Sixteen year old, NZ Elite Motorsport academy driver Hunter McElrea has ended the year on a high taking his fourth Queensland Formula Ford State Championship win in a row at Morgan Park.
Starting the round off in style, McElrea was able to clinch Pole position by a full second over the second placed Tom Corbett.
“Qualifying was a pleasant surprise to be honest, I knew I had some good pace heading in to the weekend but I wasn’t expecting to have the margin I did in qualifying!” said Hunter.
McElrea was then able to steer his RF91 Van Diemen to a dominant clean sweep of race wins and ultimately clinch the round victory in his last event in the car.
“It’s a little sad to be honest, it was my last weekend in my State Championship car” Hunter said. “It was the first car I raced in and I was able to learn a lot about how to drive fast and had many awesome memories driving it!”
Hunter now switches his focus to preparations bigger and better things for next year.
