Gemma Newman crowned Miss Fast Car 2009
Gemma Newman, a stunning 22 year old from Tamworth has beaten over a thousand other wannabe models to win the hotly contested national competition run in modified car title Fast Car, to become Miss Fast Car 2009.
The dream prize is a once in a lifetime opportunity as the lucky winner will not only take home the title of Miss Fast Car 2009 but will win a highly sought after modelling contract with the magazine that is read by over 500,000 car fans every month*. Gemma will also be modelling at car shows all over the country, including TRAX, the ultimate performance and modified car show, which she will attend as the official Miss Fast Car.
On winning the competition, Gemma said: “I’m over the moon that I’ve won, it’s so exciting and I’m really looking forward to seeing the final photoshoot in the magazine. I was so surprised to have even made it into the finals, especially as I was up against some really tough competition – the other girls were gorgeous!”
Steve Chalmers, Editor for Fast Car magazine said:
“Gemma proved herself a worthy Miss Fast Car epitomising what we’re looking for – a great new face with a unique outlook on life. She’s the consummate professional in front of the camera and the resulting images are only surpassed by that which we can’t portray; her awesome personality.”
