He was invited to try out the sport during a convention earlier this year and has got the driving bug since his first trials in the sport. 

Cars are 1300cc kit vehicles, with the one Motbey drove shelled to look like a Nissan Altima. 

Motbey said it was a riveting experience to race one of Australia’s most iconic tracks. 

“Driving at 185kmh across the top of the mountain scares the s--- out of you,” Motbey said with a laugh. 

“It was nerve-wracking there was 280,000 people there.

“However, when you're driving out you switch off from everything going on around you - you know that the first corner is coming up pretty quick.”

The cars, which can reach around 250kmh were comfortable on the course, where Motbey said it wasn’t the immense speed of Conrod straight, but the hill climb that proved daunting. 

“Going up the mountain is much more daunting, it’s just walled in with concrete on either side of you,” he said. 

And it’s not particularly wide either given the drivers were hitting the corners at upwards of 140kmh. 

Motbey laughed and said he went through three rear-vision mirrors over the weekend just clipping the edges. 

The Aussie Car series saw four seven lap races on the track, but one was cancelled after the horrific crash of Damian Flack. 

Flack was just five cars in front of Motbey when he collided with a wall. 

Motbey said it was a fantastic experience after only racing at Eastern Creek and Darwin. 

He also finished a creditable 18^th out of the 35 car field for the weekend.

The cars are a standardised kit car with a 1300cc engine and a five-speed sequential gearbox. 

However, they weigh just 450kg and can run a full mill of diagnostics like their more powerful V8 counterparts. 

Motbey said crews can plug in laptops and run all the data on the car, while the wings, kits and sets ups are highly tunable.

The cars were set up in a total different set up to run the Bathurst circuit. 

The final round of the five-meet series will be held at Sydney’s Homebush Bay in December.
