V8 supercar drivers rev into lollipop!

V8 Supercar drivers Steven Johnson and Fabian Coulthard raced into visit the kids at Radio Lollipop at the Gold Coast Hospital this week.

The kids had great fun hearing stories about them racing cars at great speed, and joking and painting hand prints with the drivers. The guys also brought in some racing suits and a helmet which lots of the kids tried on and had their photos taken.

Steve and Fabian were interviewed on air by patient Ashleigh, who did a fantastic debut job as DJ and asked some very probing questions. Very professional!

Radio Lollipop Gold Coast would like to thank Steven and Fabian and everyon involved in making this visit happen. You are welcome to race back in anytime, and best of luck for the upcoming racing season!
