 Retiring Australian motor sport champion Mark Skaife reportedly faces financial ruin, owing $3.6 million after a business deal gone bad.
News Ltd says the Holden driver, who will compete in his final V8s race after 21 years in the sport this weekend, could lose all of the assets in his own company, Skaife Sports, because of a $3.6 million loan to Scottish racing magnate Tom Walkinshaw.
The losses could include the Holden Racing Team (HRT), one of the most famous and lucrative brands in Australian sport, if he defaults on a multi-million loan.
The newspaper said the five-times Bathurst champion and his wife and children are living in a rented flat after they were forced to sell their Toorak mansion.
