ROBBIE FARR finally managed to win Australia’s most prestigious Speedway race for the first time after three decades of trying.
The 45-year-old from the Gold Coast held off some of the world’s best and achieved a lifelong dream with an emotional victory in the South West Conveyancing 47th Grand Annual Sprintcar Classic at Warrnambool’s Premier Speedway.
“It’s been 30 years, the longest apprenticeship to win this race. Now I’ve just won the biggest race in the country, I have actually, finally won a Classic,” Farr told Auto Action post-race.
Farr became the 26th different winner of the event and the 16th different Australian to win the prestigious race. His previous best result was third in 2016, ironically behind winner Veal and Madsen, the pair he beat home this year.
