Wayne Aherne from Mooloolaba is no stranger to Noosa The Hill having raced his classic 1968 Mustang to the top many times.
First in class in 2022 and second in class in 2023 he is obviously very familiar with the 14 turns although scraping a concrete barrier in 2023 was obviously not part of the plan.
This year for the Winter Hill climb Wayne has entered a very different car, a faithful replica of the 1984 George Fury Nissan Bluebird.
George Fury drove the race-prepared Nissan Bluebird, not much in common with the road going version, to the fastest qualifying lap at the 1984 Bathurst 1000. This was the first time a Japanese car and a turbocharged car outpaced the fastest V8 touring cars and the lap time stood for many years.
Wayne has also competed in the very long Rockhampton Gold Rush Hill sprint and said “Noosa Hill climb is a fun and challenging course and a great racing community”.
The Hill 2025 Winter event is being held 13-15 June.
