Nick has been racing in the Premier NZ V8 Series for the past fourteen years.

Nick continued his on-going Challenge to WIN the NZV8 Touring car Championship.

Nick successfully completed his first season in that finishing 2nd In the NZ V8 Touring Car Championship. 2014 Nick battled it out and came away with the #1 on the side of his TLX Holden Commodore, Making him the 2014 NZV8 New Zealand touring car Champion.
