Despite describing 2020 as “weird”, young Southland racing driver Jordan Michels has found plenty of positives from a year that included winning his third New Zealand title in two years.

Another opportunity soon presented itself when he had a call from Australia offering him a drive among a star-studded field in an S5000 car on the support card of the Australian Grand Prix meeting at Albert Park in Melbourne.
