Barker is the youngest ever winner of the Castrol Suzuki Swift scholarship, and the first to win a new package of mentoring support offered by Castrol and John McIntyre Racing that will culminate in a test day with McIntyre’s NZV8 team.
“I’ve always dreamed of racing the V8 Supercars, and this is a huge step forward to achieving that goal,” he said.
Ilam-based Barker has raced karts since he was 11, and his passion for motorsport has driven him to seek any possible way to get alongside, under or in race cars. He has worked for Canterbury Motor Racing School, and in the 2009-2010, premier motor race season secured a prized role trackside as pit crew with the champion Triple X race team.
