Must say though, I don't normally get into bikes but I always try to watch the TT. I have really enjoyed watching kiwi Bruce Anstey this past week and his success on the Isle  |
Not really into bikes, but the TT is impressive to watch, plenty of Kiwi riders have done it over the years of course.
Over the years not to many Kiwis have made it in European racing and raced long term, plenty have done a few races then run out of $$$.
Would have been interesting if David Oxton had stuck at it, on the pace in both Formula Ford and F5000.
Brett Riley won a hand full of F3 races over a number of years, Paul Radisich never got it together in F3 but did the business in BTCC.
Mike Thackwell of course was the last to race in F1 and win a major Championship( European F2 in 1984) until Mitch came along.
I could go on and on
Of course we have had several that have gone all the way.
