The Roaring Season

Yes thats a good point Murray. The little understanding I have of the New Zealand F5000 group, and speaking to some of those involved, is that there is becoming a bit of a division between those who are genuine enthusiasts, who want to run the cars for enjoyment and historic sentiment, without the ...

Aaron, in what way did the AGP appearances affect F5000? The AGP fields were the largest ever in this country by far and that was the pinnacle. It will be hard to ever match that. It is an expensive exercise and having done it 2 or 3 times many decided (Kiwis in particular) that it was better value ...

Terry, yes we were also disappointed but did our best at Sandown. Can you believe that there are now repercussions because we were too fast?

Besides, I think you're doing yourself a disservice. You do a fantastic job in these cars. And you're an enthusiast who goes historic racing for the ...

Thanks Terry, I thought it might have been this car pictured, largely because they've chosen to race it as #2, which is the same number Gethin used throughout the 1974 Tasman Series. Turns out it does appear to be the same car, 007. Thanks Terry, good to know where it is today. [ATTACH]21028 ...
