LOCAL racing car driver, Felicity Roycroft, has been selected by Team Australia to head over to New Zealand and compete in the Australia v New Zealand stock car team challenge.

Out of over 130 quality applicants so far, Team Australia interviewed and reviewed each and every competitor to see who met their strict criteria. Felicity Roycroft is the first selection to compete for Team Australia in 2022.

Felicity is one of Victoria’s most prolific competitors, representing Speedway Wangaratta throughout her home state and beyond, in both Speedway Sedans Australia Street Stocks, and CrashNBash Drivers Association, together with a host of other local divisions.

Felicity impressed Team Australia selectors through her adaptability to a variety of cars and divisions, her tenacity and dedication to a fitness and training regime together with her in depth knowledge of New Zealand Stockcar racing, gathered through research and relationships built online in preparation for her application and interview.

“Any girl or woman who thinks they can’t crack into male-dominated sports, I am proof we can! I didn’t come from much, but when you work hard at what you want, the world is your oyster,” said Felicity.
