"The first time I drove the kart fitted with a Formula 100 specification engine a few weeks ago I got out of the kart asking myself - what the hell I was doing this for at the age of 50. "After the first day I was extremely sore, the second day not so bad and then this weekend I was probably half way back to the fitness I used to have when I won my last title at this level in 1995." The Horsham (Victoria) driver remained unbeaten in his return to the high-powered Formula 100 category on his way to the seventh national title of his illustrious career.
"This win didn't just happen, I made it happen. I've always said that you only get out of things what you get put into them," said Luciani. "While everyone else was at home watching Bathurst, Formula One and the Moto GP over the past few weeks I've been here doing laps all day long to get myself ready for this weekend."
