Shawn McNamara. Building 9ine 5ive from the ground up has been a incredible achievement for team owner Shawn McNamara but it’s Shawn’s approach to giving people a opportunity that is truely admirable. With many fledging young drivers within the lineup, This could prove to be the perfect fit for Hayden moving forward.

Hayden gets a chance to revitalise his sim racing career by challenging himself against some of the best young up and coming stars in the team, and also established performers like Dylan Rudd, who was a regular top 10 contender at the end of the 2022 season, as well as new recruit and establihed front runner Griffin Gardiner. His experience can lend a hand to the young stars, whilst their speed can push Hayden to find success.

A new team along with a new championship campaign for 2023 will provide Hayden with new opportunities and a fresh mindset to start the year. Some of the best drivers experience turmoil and difficulties in the early stages of their careers while trying to establish themselves, this will only fuel the fire to turn results around. By making a change, this is the first stepping stone in what will hopefully be a great 2023 for Hayden Harrison.
