Huge Finish For Deagle

Lachie Deagle in the Anglomoil-backed Toyota 86 saved the best until last when he raced past half of the field to score 16th place at the Newcastle 500.

Starting from 22nd on the grid, Lachie started making good progress until another driver ran into him and pushed him into a spin narrowly missing the concrete wall. By the time Lachie was pointing in the right direction five cars had gone past him and he had dropped back to 27th.

Lachie is renowned for having an amazing ability to overtake. Even on an extremely narrow street circuit like Newcastle. Whereas most of the field are content to play follow the leader…the Oracle Of Overtaking managed to get past the other 86 coupes one at a time.

By the time he crossed the finish line he had overtaken an incredible tally of 11 cars!!!

It was a brilliant performance to wrap up his 2o17 season.

Lachie will use the offseason to consider his motor sport options for 2018. One thing he knows for certain – he wants Anglomoil lubricants in his race car.
