Two professional race car drivers have teamed up to launch a new business in Toowoomba.

Bathurst winner David Reynolds and Toowoomba’s own Will Brown are well-versed when it comes to cars and now the pair have established a new venture alongside Credit One Finance.

Since launching six months ago, their online dealership Cartopia currently has 5000 vehicles listed, with a variety of makes, models and even trucks available.

Averaging up to 40,000 clicks per month, Mr Brown said the website allowed people and dealers to advertise their cars at cheaper rates.

“My family have been in the motor trade for forty years and the last three generations have been car dealers,” Mr Brown said.

“We also own local Toowoomba dealership business Cars Galore.”

The 23-year-old Toowoomba resident said another reason for starting the business, was that more people had been looking for cars online since Covid-19.

Cars can be advertised for a flat rate of $9.90.
