Canberra’s Cameron Hill aiming to wrap up season with success in Newcastle

Canberra driver Cameron Hill will be lining up for the final Toyota 86 Race Series race at the Newcastle 500 this weekend, aiming for a positive finish to a year that’s had plenty of ups and downs.

The Toyota 86 Race Series is in only its second year, but has already attracted both a strong fan base and a number of promising young drivers, including Number 111 Cameron Hill.

Little National Hotel, Barton, Canberra, Australia

While much of the international attention on Canberra recently has focused on the revitalised district of Braddon near the city’s centre, smart travellers won’t overlook the urban suburb of Barton, where you can stay and play in peace and comfort.

Barton is located less than 10 minutes’ drive from Canberra International Airport and around 7 minutes’ drive from the city centre.
