Porsche Michelin Sprint Challenge @Queensland Raceway 2022
At the age of 14 years old Lachlan started cutting laps at the Norwell Motorplex, before his first Excel Cup Race at Queensland Raceway.
From there he has continued to hone his race craft at tracks like Mount Panorama, Morgan Park, Reid Park, Hidden Valley and QR before making his way into the Toyota Gazoo Racing Australia 86 Series for the 2021 season.
Throughout the interrupted 2021 TGRA 86 Series Lachlan was one of six young drivers selected to test the Erebus V8 Supercar at Queensland Raceway.
He joined MR for the 2022 Michelin Sprint Challenge and took podiums in preparation for a shot at the 2023 Sprint Challenge title.
In 2022 Lachlan has made the jump to McElrea Racing for his first season of the Porsche Michelin Sprint Challenge and is determined to put MR on the top step of the championship.
