Eady wins in stonkin wagon
21 Jun 2004
Mike Eady, in partnership with John McIntyre, put in a spectacular performance to win the 4-hour endurance race at Manfeild on 19 June, despite starting from 7th on the grid in their Audi RS4. Amazingly, the RS4 is a station wagon! Three weeks earlier, they finished 3rd in the 6-hour endurance race at Pukekohe. |
