Simon Kane

Simon Kane (born 9 October 1967 in Sydney, New South Wales) is an Australian former race car driver who has worked as a sound technician in television since the late 1980s where he began working for Australia's Nine Network on the 60 Minutes.

Career Kane started in Formula Fords in the late 1980s and proceeded to the new Formula Holden series in 1989. In 1990, he won the Australian Drivers' Championship and consequently CAMS Gold Star. From there, he had a disappointing International Formula 3000 season in 1991 for Italian team Motor Racing Di-Wheels, failing to qualify for the two events he entered at Hockenheim in Germany and Brands Hatch in England (rounds 6 & 7).

Kane then returned to Australia and spasmodically entered Australian Drivers' Championship rounds in coming years and achieved a top five result at the one-off 1993 Indonesian Grand Prix. He now races some club events in a Porsche 911.
