Dream Ride 2016 (Sydney) for Special Olympics

Great day supporting the inaugural Dream Ride 2016, the Aussie version of the successful US program. Not every day you get to drive through the mouth of Luna Park (famous Sydney amusement park) and do laps of Eastern Creek grand prix track entertaining a bunch of kids and adults who face tougher challenges in life than the rest of us.

Next year I expect will be more massive, Ferrari, Aston, Morgan, Lamborghini, Corvette and Mustang all supported the event and raised over $80,000 just from the teams let alone the other promotional activities. The young guy who came with me from Luna Park and did a lap of the main circuit said he will remember it for the rest of his life, lot of fun.

Some car shots for the fans including the new DB11.
