NAr he has been racing for a while.

Haven't come up against him on the road tracks but i have raced him a few times on the ovals in the trucks.

Lets just say he seems as fast at the sim as in real life lol

he has been racing rfactor for a while too ... way back when he first started driving the v8 .. he started off with myself and the boys over the ditch at ea outlaws and well ... same way he started in the real racing was a little argy bargy but grew to be nicer and still overly fast .. also i used to race against him in real life on quad bikes and he is fast there too !!!
seems to be one of them guys that is good at whatever he puts his mind to .
quite a good cat in person too

I've also raced against him albeit when we were both a bit younger in Karting, was a good driver then too as you would expect.

I recently raced in a race that was hosted by Shane in the MX5 at Watkins Glen. It had Shane, Owen Kelly (Co Drived with Rick Kelly this year), Nick Percat (Yes got 1st a baturst) & Scott McLaughlin.

With one lap to go there was 5 of us all nose to tail (Shane, some other guy, Owen Kelly, Scott & Myself) with about a 10 ssecond lead. Well lets none of us won lol. I have got it save on video so might have to up load it.
