Advancing the cause led to Duncan\u2019s spearheading events for Formula Juniors all over the world, from Europe to Australia and New Zealand to the USA and Canada. It was at the June 2017 VARAC meet at Mosport and later at the Glen vintage weekend where John Wright sat down with Duncan in a variety of noisy tents, filled with buzzing Formula Junior engines to chronicle the international journey he has been on.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<figure id=\"attachment_653061\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-653061\" style=\"width: 1080px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/Dad_Brands-Lurani-2012-by-Michael-Waller.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-653061 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/Dad_Brands-Lurani-2012-by-Michael-Waller.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1080\" height=\"719\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/Dad_Brands-Lurani-2012-by-Michael-Waller.jpg 1080w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/Dad_Brands-Lurani-2012-by-Michael-Waller-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/Dad_Brands-Lurani-2012-by-Michael-Waller-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/Dad_Brands-Lurani-2012-by-Michael-Waller-100x67.jpg 100w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/Dad_Brands-Lurani-2012-by-Michael-Waller-770x513.jpg 770w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/Dad_Brands-Lurani-2012-by-Michael-Waller-360x240.jpg 360w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/Dad_Brands-Lurani-2012-by-Michael-Waller-370x247.jpg 370w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/Dad_Brands-Lurani-2012-by-Michael-Waller-293x195.jpg 293w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1080px) 100vw, 1080px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-653061\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Duncan Rabagliati<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><strong>VR<\/strong>: Duncan, what set you on the road of no return in the racing world?<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<style>\n        .memberful-global-teaser-content p:last-child{\n            -webkit-mask-image: linear-gradient(180deg, #000 0%, transparent);\n            mask-image: linear-gradient(180deg, #000 0%, transparent);\n        }\n    <\/style>\n<div class='memberful-global-marketing-content'>\n<div class=\"a07online-global-marketing-content-wrapper\">\n<h2 class=\"a07online-global-marketing-title\">No Subscription?
