Hi there
My name is Tom Barker, I’m fourteen years old and I am one of the five Fernatics "Aspiring Kiwis”. My goal is to have a V8 Supercar career by age nineteen.
My plan is to not only become a professional racecar driver but also help New Zealanders enjoy and share my passion for motorsport. I will post daily motorsport news from all over the globe on my page as well as monthly newsletters in regards to my racing career. If you have any questions whether it’s about my career, how you can travel to the next Formula 1 Grand Prix or other motorsport event anywhere around the world with Fernatics email me at tombarker@xtra.co.nz
Best regards,
Tom Barker
