Adam Macrow

Adam Macrow (born 23 November 1978, in <a href="/facts/Victoria_(Australia)/76P2nqtz">Victoria</a>) is a professional race car driver.
In 1985, he started his motorsports career in <a href="/facts/Karts/bYyC422T">karting</a>. Over his time spent in karts, he won two national titles and ten Victorian titles. In 1995, he moved out of karts into <a href="/facts/Formula_Vee/J8FqYsEy">Formula Vee</a>, which was followed in 1996 by a move into <a href="/facts/Formula_Ford/Y5Gx5u1f">Formula Ford</a>. He won the National Championship in 1998. Macrow's Formula Ford title was the first title for the Australian manufacturer of <a href="/facts/Borland_Racing_Developments/EKXY13Cx">Spectrum Cars</a>, which have since run drivers such as <a href="/facts/Mark_Winterbottom/f5yj1KSp">Mark Winterbottom</a> and <a href="/facts/John_Martin_(Australian_racing_driver)/2Iu7wnj8">John Martin</a>.
In 1999, Macrow raced in <a href="/facts/Formula_Holden/rJhIwUPU">Formula Holden</a>, achieving a fourth-place finish in the series. In the same year, he started his career in V8 Supercars with <a href="/facts/Longhurst_Racing/GSR89VIp">Longhurst Racing</a>, driving with <a href="/facts/Tony_Longhurst/qbcSkr8d">Tony Longhurst</a> in the <a href="/facts/1999_Queensland_500/PY7IXLA5">Queensland 500</a> and <a href="/facts/1999_FAI_1000/Dqgw1mG5">Bathurst 1000</a>. While this was a prize for winning the <a href="/facts/Australian_Formula_Ford_Championship/3nemqmGd">Australian Formula Ford Championship</a>, it did not turn out well, with the pair retiring from both races.
In the following years, Macrow continued in his role as a co-driver for various teams. The highlight of his career came in 2005, achieving a fifth place at the <a href="/facts/Sandown_500/NhmQz3Fd">Sandown 500</a> and a third place at the <a href="/facts/Bathurst_1000/I0Rzw0F5">Bathurst 1000</a> for <a href="/facts/Triple_Eight_Race_Engineering_(Australia)/pGutNljN">Triple Eight Race Engineering</a>. In 2006, he continued this success, winning the <a href="/facts/2006_Fujitsu_V8_Supercar_Series/yBlqs2MR">Fujitsu V8 Supercars Series</a> in his first season in the competition, and winning eight out of the 18 races in the process. He stepped into the <a href="/facts/Team_Kiwi_Racing/WR6EsEcY">Team Kiwi Racing</a> Falcon in 2007, after <a href="/facts/Paul_Radisich/ffg8IYUM">Paul Radisich</a> was still recovering from an accident at Bathurst in 2006.
