Luke 'The Falcon' DeLaurence

Hometown: Lennox Head

DOB: 17/4/1984

Club: Lismore

Class: Rotax Light

When Started: 2001

Occupation: Uni student (business)

Favorite Race Car Drivers: Alain Prost for his super smooth driving style, the way he drove is a big influence for me. Also Gilles Villeneurve for being completely fearless and more than a little bit insane.

Most Respected Karters: Scott Brown, Van Helsing, Scott Martin, Sebastian Tolsen, Daniel Burley and Trent Laves. I have had some really memorable races with all of them, they are also really good guys off the track. Sean Butcher, Go You Good Thing! Graham Armstrong, Jeff Hutchinson and Tony Grant for their achievments, insights and support.

Brand of Kart: Azzurro R6B, Azzurro Enduro

Sponsors: Azzurro Karts, Gratec engines

Career Highlights: Every Saturday night spent camping at a track. BBQ's, beers and stories are what club level racing is all about. I have won various championships and races at club/interclub level but i dont think anything less than a very strong result in a state title/cup is much of a highlight, so im still working hard for one.

Comments: Thanks toVan Helsing for Sponsoring my new shiney Rotax
