South Australia has announced its two drivers that will carry the Croweaters colours in Launceston at The Australian Drivers’ Championship will be held at Launceston, Tasmania on Sunday November 15. The championships were the brain-child of HRA Chief Executive Officer Andrew Kelly, who said he was delighted that Launceston would host the 2015 event.
Last year the drivers’ championship was held here in SA. It will return to Globe Derby in 2016.
