Not sure if you caught it yesterday morning, but Aker was on SEN at about 7.15 talking about his racing debut in a Mini at Symmons Plains in Tasmania.

Anyway just saw a replay of him in action in his first race and he rolled his car very early on in the race. (Pretty sure he is ok)

Think Aker better stick to playing footy.

Just to make it even worse, it was not during the race, but during the warm up lap.

I'm sure his team mates will be letting him know all about it.

That is funny.

He is going to cop it big time.

Apparently Aker signed an indemnity before the race declaring he will pay for any damage to the car should he inflict any.

OUCH!!!!!!!!!!!

Hilarious. Bloody Hilarious. Is he still on with the Ox and Francis on a Tuesday or is that just during the season?

He will not be allowed to forget this anytime soon.

Earlier in the year a Rugby Union player had a drive in the same class of cars @ Waneroo, flipped the car and spent the night in hospital with a bad back.

And don't forget that Luke Darcy was tipped over this year in the celebrity race for the GP


At least Darc was during the race!


Main thing is that Aka was fine.

And completed both races today. The crew managed to get the car raceworthy in time, and he finished 3rd last and 4th last in his two races, which was a credible performance in his first motor race.
