SUPERCARS rookie Declan Fraser was so keen to make his first race in Newcastle a success he flew to the city weeks in advance and drove around the half-built street circuit in a hire car.
The new Tickford Racing driver, who has joined the Melbourne-based team with little more than 50 days to go until Supercars' opening race of 2023, will make his debut as a full-time driver at the Newcastle 500, which returns after a three-year hiatus on March 10-12.
