TASMANIAN reinsman Nathan Ford has finished third in the Australasian Young Driver’s Championship series in New Zealand.
Ford finished with 53 points and not too far off New Zealand duo Josh Dickie who won the title and Matthew Williamson who had what looked an unbeatable lead going into the final round but a disqualification in one of the last heats proved costly.
Ford’s charges finished third and fourth in the final two heats but it wasn’t enough to overhaul the kiwis.
