Hampton Downs will fit the bill.

Unless I am very much mistaken, Bob was at McLaren whilst Bruce was still alive - prior to June 2nd, 1970.

Crikey, I had no idea they could be involved. It seems a lot of the top teams are looking to get involved in this series.

We do ahve a proud history, as the press releases say, and I hope we can do justice and compete at the sharp end.

Thanks for the Bob info, McLaren's NZ website has yet to return my email.

Fabian Coulthard for the a1 drive, maybe not right away, but I bet he's a contender. Look who his principal sponsors are

jazz1627 · 28 Jun 2005, 23:20 (Ref:1342435)

look who hallidays, reids

and coulthard sponsors are include gaunt in that aswell

thejester · 3 Jul 2005, 20:41 (Ref:1346303)

Johnny Reid and Matt Halliday reported as going to start testing for NZA1GP. Car will be (well, duh!) black and silver. Should look

I'd suggest mainly white or the thing'll cook!

I wish that they hadn't, the silver fern on black thing is getting very boring. It was alright at first when only a couple of sports were using it but IMO it has gotten very diluted. Overkill even, Lost it's impact.

Fabian is going places with his Porsche Series Racing .... look at his duels with Jim Richards. NZ has a number of drivers who could race. What about Murph and Scott Dixon?

I think the typical colour scheme will go well with the international audiences. Many people on this planet do not know where NZ actually is because we are so isolated.

Hmmm how cool would it be if we could get clear carbon fibre guards for the car!

Speaking of car graphics ... has anyone checked out the new Indy car that has been sponsored by New Zealands 42 Below Vodka?

foreversideways · 12 Aug 2005, 17:46 (Ref:1380840)

Johnny Reid will go well in A1GP. Most people have probably not seen much of him. But i saw quite a lot of him in Euro F3000 last year when he was with JVA and Alex Lloyd was his team mate. He has good speed, he is a fast learner and just gets on with the job in hand.

Just Do It! · 13 Aug 2005, 11:08 (Ref:1381261)

foreversideways..... you may have neglected to add the reasonable order (5 or 6?) for VW Touregs that his father has placed with Mr Giltrap as a sweetner.

Hmmm surprise surprise. Does any one know what Sheikh Maktoum Hasher Maktoum Al Maktoum has in his garage? I guess its who you know and can influence ... and not what you know.

I look forward to the 25th Sept. I wonder if I can get tickets? Kiwis should be proud of this day.

What a magic moment in NZ motorsport history. If they ever race Monaco I hope they pain the kiwi car orange as a sign of respect.

Just Do It! · 17 Aug 2005, 10:34 (Ref:1384471)

And so say all of us

jezwold · 17 Aug 2005, 22:38 (Ref:1385156)

Looks like the Portugal team have the right idea ... anyone handy with photo shop?

thejester · 17 Aug 2005, 22:43 (Ref:1385162)

that looks great! nice one portugal.

Armco Bender · 20 Aug 2005, 20:10 (Ref:1387128)

Maybe they will paint the NZ car like a giant Kiwifruit,the sight of a giant green hairy berry in your mirrors should put the wind up the opposition.

Scott Dixon must be looking a driver hope,bringing up the rear of IRL fields must be looking very unattractive,he must be looking at greener pastures.

jezwold · 26 Aug 2005, 20:34 (Ref:1392120)

Haha .... flying kiwi fruit. I am glad they now have a non hairy variety.

Hmmm seems the lads are doing the business -

marcus · 25 Sep 2005, 02:53 (Ref:1415724)

well Matt Halliday is a class driver and I think he will do very well.

Dont know much about Jonny Ried but from what Ive seen of him he is very qucik as well.

good to see NZ doing well indeed

foreversideways · 25 Sep 2005, 10:30 (Ref:1415854)

Jonny Reid is a quick and consistant driver who was paired last year with Alex Lloyd in the John Village Euro 3000 outfit, I believe he has been racing in Japan this year. Did not have quite the raw speed that you saw from Alex Lloyd but is very canny in a racing situation. He is not prone to silly mistakes or the Mansell mist and i expect him to do good things for NZ. He is also a throughly likeable guy and a real patriot, allways appearing on the podium with his NZ rugby scarf around his neck.

jezwold · 25 Sep 2005, 16:26 (Ref:1416038)

Well its official. We have the fastest washing machine in the world!

Nice effort by Team NZ.
