What was a Formula One car doing at Winton Motor Raceway yesterday?
A McLaren Mercedes Formula One car graced the rural Winton circuit yesterday as part of an upcoming Norton 360 promotion.
Craig Lowndes got up close and personal with the McLaren race car, although unlike his team-mate Jamie Whincup who got the chance to drive a similar car at Albert Park in March, Lowndes was there simply for a photo opportunity.
Lowndes, a Norton 360 ambassabor, was promoting a competition which will see him in the role of tour guide at the Belgian Formula One Grand Prix in August.
