Sakercars.com.au had their first race at Winton Motor Raceway in Australia on the 30-4-05 This NZ and Australian built car, owned by John Biddlecombe of NSW, was driven by V8 supercar driver Luke Youlden. The Saker was invited to run in the new sports and GT series, formally Nations Cup - Intermarque Challenge series.
Luke qualified the Saker two-tenths under the current Nations Cup lap record held by Paul Stokel in the black Lamborghini Diablo R.

On raceday Luke and the Saker set fastest lap in each of their races, but finished in fourth and second, due to a mysterious misfire. Top finishes were Porsche GT2R and GT3 cup.
Almost a perfect debut in Australia. Luke commented that the Saker was probably the best handling car straight out of the box that he had ever driven.
