Let's make this birthday one to remember.

48 years old (Born on March 31, 1977)

Happy Birthday, Garth! It seems like just yesterday you were leaving tire tracks in the 1997 Australian Formula Ford Championships. Who knew that ten years later you'd power your way into winning the V8 Supercar Championship Series? Racing must be keeping you youthful—though we're still waiting for tickets to ride shotgun!

Fast forward through countless podium celebrations and epic battles on Aussie racetracks—you've proven time can't slow a racing legend down. Whether it's taking curves at lightning speeds or celebrating championships with flare, you're unstoppable.

Keep racking up those victories (and candles), mate; may this lap around the sun bring more horsepower and fewer pit-stops!
