Liam Lawson is thrilled with the Supercars Series car.

      Liam Lawson is spending his winter break in his native New Zealand, and we recently reported that he is combining business with pleasure. We also mentioned that the Racing Bulls driver piloted a Chevrolet Camaro Gen3 during a charity event he took part in.

      It's a special car: it was once driven in the Australian Supercars touring-car series by Lawson's compatriot Shane van Gisbergen, a three-time champion. He is now racing very successfully in the United States in NASCAR, has already scored multiple wins, and has become a true celebrity beyond New Zealand.

      Now Lawson had the opportunity to enjoy a drive in the Chevrolet Camaro that van Gisbergen used to win the famous Bathurst 1000 in 2023.

      The press office of the New Zealand circuit shared a short video on social media filmed during Lawson's run, and judging by his comments, he really enjoyed the experience.

      "Driving a car like this is a real pleasure!" the Formula 1 driver said. "I really liked it — it's a proper racing car, with a big gear lever, and there are three pedals. No driver aids. It's just a very wild and very loud car.

      Racing around this circuit is insanely fun too; you have to constantly attack the kerbs, take the banked corners and all that. It would be interesting to watch a Supercars race at this track someday."

      This is not Lawson's first time behind the wheel of cars from the Australian series: last year at Melbourne's Albert Park he already tried both a Chevrolet Camaro and a Ford Mustang on track.
