The Mike Kable Young Gun Award, formally known as the Mike Kable Rookie of the Year Award, is dedicated to the memory of Australia's best known and widely respected motoring journalist Mike Kable. ==Background== Mike Kable will forever be known as a legend of motorsport journalism. His passing in May 2000 after bravely fighting cancer led the then AVESCO Chairman Tony Cochrane to name the new award in his honour. "Mike Kable will forever remain an inspiration for his vision and unwavering support of young drivers and his contribution to the V8 Supercar category," Cochrane said.〔(Motorsport journalist Mike Kable honoured with new V8 Supercar award 10/6/00 )〕 "Mike was both a friend and unabashed publicist to a host of up-and coming motor racing talent from Craig Lowndes, to Mick Doohan and Sir Jack Brabham," he said.〔 "He was always looking for the next great driver and I am honoured to name this prestigious award after him," he concluded.〔 The award includes a $15,000 sponsorship grant to aid in the development of the recipient. The award largely replaced the Bathurst 1000 rookie of the year award which ceased being used at around the same time. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Mike Kable Young Gun Award」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
