Nathan Herne, 21, will race the Lamborghini Super Trofeo at speeds of up to 300 kilometres per hour at Circuit de Spa-Francorchamps in Belgium.
: Lismore racer Nathan Herne is competing in the World Endurance Championship s in Belgium.Herne has been in discussions about further opportunities on the European racing circuit.
"Lucky for me one of their drivers had to pull out due to family commitments, so that opened the door for me," the 21-year-old said.It is a dream job for someone who has spent almost their entire life behind the wheel. This week he will be reaching speeds of up to 300 kilometres per hour in a 650-horsepower Lamborghini V10 around the track at Circuit de Spa-Francorchamps.
He said this was not ideal, particularly as his track simulator blew up when he tried to load it after getting the call from Lamborghini."When you don't know the car and you don't know the track it's borderline insanity to try to go fast, but I've got a really good team with me who have sent me a lot of data and footage to research."I believe that the more you put into things, the bigger the reward, and Nathan has certainly put a lot into racing," Mr Herne said.
