From humble beginnings driving Volkswagens and tractors on the family farm at Cowangie in north western Victoria, Larry Perkins has had an amazing 30 year career spanning a range of motorsport formulae around the globe. Round Australia car trials, Formula Vee, Formula 2, Formula One, Formula 5000, touring cars, V8 Supercars, Le Mans, solar cars, mileage marathon cars – you name it, Larry has done it all and done it well. A true racer’s racer, aggressive, quick and fair, ‘LP’, as he is affectionately known, tells it as he sees it, like it or not, caring little for what others think and a lot about winning.
