Because Auckland wants the A1GP to go to Hampton Downs & they are prepared to sabotage A1GP Taupo do get it. You'd think that Motorsport NZ would control this conflict better & sure enough the Pukekohe permit was issued on the assurance that it wasn't going to be a major event. Since when has a 35 car Formula 5000 race not been major? The cart is leading the horse in NZ motorsport. |
Maybe it has something to do with a little spat between NZV8's and A1, hence the non appearance of the V8's at the Taupo round? Just guessing.
Although the bloke who organises the Puke event is a throughly nice bloke who just loves the sport.
