With passion dedication and commitment, Daniel Spurway has set his sights on supercar racing, the natural evolution of his karting career.
It all started in 2018, when Daniel found himself behind the wheel of a kart and for the first time discovered the thrill of driving on the competitive track, and he hasn’t looked back once.
“I wouldn’t call it a passion,” Daniel shared.
“It’s more like a life-long obsession with racing.”
Closing out the chapter of kart racing in 2023, with 12 wins and 37 podium finishes spanning his karting career, Daniel decided that car racing was the next step for him, and rather than waiting for the pros to approach him, he would go knocking on some doors.
“I’m happy with all that I accomplished in kart racing. I am proud of making it to the NQ Championship in 2022, and for competing in the QLD State Cup.”
Now turning his efforts to getting into the support category league of Aussie Racing Cars, Daniel is chasing the rush of powerful engines.
Aussie Racing Cars is just one stepping-stone in Daniel’s progression, with the goal of racing in the Supercar Championships the ultimate goal.
“To be able to be on the tracks that my heroes have raced on, that’s what I’m after.
“To be in the league with some of the best, that is my major dream.”
Daniel is open to local sponsorships, to propel him further in his racing career.
“To be able to race in the big leagues, that would mean the world to me. And to have long-term sponsors behind me means that I can achieve my dreams of racing alongside my heroes.
“Racing is something that came to me at an early age.
“Racing is something that me and my dad bonded over, and it was something that helped me through tough times.
“It allowed me to escape my life for a time, when all I had to focus on was taking the next turn, then the next then the next.
“Any assistance I will always appreciate.”
“I would also like to take this opportunity to thank Richard from Freem Racewear, who’s always been looking out for me with our racewear.”
Daniel’s Fastest Speeds:
“In my kart, I once hit 120 kilometres, and in the Scholarship Series Toyota 86, I got up to 220 to 230 kilometres, which was incredible.”
