Australia has so many car enthusiasts and it’s a privilege to be able display the car for them in Adelaide; it’s also exciting for me to test the car out around the iconic Clipsal 500 circuit,” Quinn said.
South Australian Minister for Tourism Leon Bignell said the Vulcan’s inclusion in the race program was a coup for the event and noted the exclusive car will add to the excitement for car enthusiasts.
