First Supercars drive for Trans Am teen
Elliott Cleary, a rising star in motorsport, recently had the opportunity to join Team 18’s pool of drivers for a ride day in Melbourne. He had the chance to experience Scott Pye’s Gen3 Camaro from the passenger seat with co-driver Warren Luff driving, and then got behind the wheel himself for a few passenger runs. Cleary was ecstatic about the experience, describing the car as amazing and feeling like he was getting the hang of it by the end. While there were some similarities to his previous experience in Trans Am racing, there were also noticeable differences in how the Supercar handled and turned. Cleary has quickly made a name for himself in motorsport, starting with karting in his early teens and progressing to dominating the WA Formula Ford Series before joining national Trans Am. In addition to racing, he also works part-time for Team 18 and recently assisted in the tyre tent for the Sandown 500, with plans to do the same for the Bathurst 1000. Cleary’s performance during the ride day impressed Team 18, and their team manager praised his abilities and dedication.
