South Australian driver Samantha Reid will be hoping to use some familiar circuit characteristics to her advantage in this weekend’s penultimate round of the 2006 Australian Formula Ford Championship at Symmons Plains Raceway. The circuit just outside of Launceston, in Tasmania, shares a number of similarities with Reid’s home circuit of Mallala Raceway near Adelaide – a fact both team and driver is keen to exploit this weekend. 19-year-old Reid is hoping that her strong run at her home event in August – where she showed top five potentia... » Read more
