New Zealander Radisich competed in the BTCC between 1993 and 1998, driving for the factory Ford and Peugeot squads. He won six races and twice finished third in the standings.
Now he is due to be reunited with the Ford Mondeo he raced in 1994, and took to Touring Car World Cup glory at Donington Park, at the 1-2 July Brands Hatch event.
The car is one of several Super Tourers owned by Kiwi businessman Scott O’Donnell, who lived in London in the 1990s, and Radisich has driven it a handful of times in recent years.
“There are four or five cars coming from New Zealand to Brands and the Mondeo was one of them, and Scott was scheduled to drive it,” Radisich told Autosport.
“But he’s just had shoulder surgery, so he called me and said he can’t do it and would I drive it, and I said I’ve love to.
“I know the car and I’ve driven it lately – I raced it last month in the George Begg Festival at Teretonga.
“It’s not going to be competitive compared to a lot of cars, but it will be nice to get back to Brands Hatch.
“It’s quite ironic, because Scott as a young guy was watching me from the outside of the track in 1993 and 1994, and that’s part of the reason why he bought the cars.
“I want him to stand in the same place as he did in 1993 and 1994 and this time I’ll wave to him!”
