Wally aboard the Denny Hulme McLaren M23 Work is well in hand for next season. The calendar has been finalised and the tracks booked and HRC are just waiting to finalise with the classes what events they wish to run at before we announce the full list of classes running at each event. Some events are already full with eleven classes which is really the limit we can run at a two day meeting. Some interesting projects coming up including a possible new motoring TV show (f we can get support) and a rerun of the B & H 500. HRC are endeavouring to run Classic meetings and Mixed Meetings as separate events with the classic meetings with older cars and hopefully cars with COD’s. Unfortunately for commercial reasons we have to have some non-classic classes at these meeting to make them viable. The classic meetings are the Icebreaker 28/29th September Hampton Downs, Tasman Revival Hampton Downs 25/26th January, Tasman Revival Pukekohe 22/23rd February, Paul Fahey NZ Legends of Speed 21/22nd March Hampton Downs, Jack Nazer Classic Taupo 25/26th April. At these we will run BMW classes and ERC and while COD’s for these classes are not mandatory the cars competing in most cases could get COD’s. Race meeting organisers do need classes to combine as entry fees cannot keep rising. -
1967 Mclaren M4A:2 LR
! The Ex - Piers Courage, John Coombs 1967 McLaren M4A Chassis Number: M4A/2 • One of two works cars run by McLaren in 1967 for the European Formula 2 season, long before customer M4As became available. Owned by John Coombs and driven by Piers Courage while he was also a works BRM Formula 1 driver, scoring 2nd place at Zandvoort and 3rd at Hockenheim. • Bought by Courage in time for the 1968 Tasman Series, where he scored a phenomenal victory by a huge margin in the final round, beating the likes of Jim Clark in a Lotus 49. Courage also took a 2nd and three 3rds to finish 3rd in the series. • Sold to Australia at the conclusion of the Tasman Series in 1968 and raced successfully there by subsequent owners before returning to Europe in 1991. • Recently maintained by Speedsport, with Michael O’Brien taking victory at Cadwell Park in HSCC Classic Racing Cars. Benefitting from limited use on the Geoff Richardson built Cosworth FVA engine, 2017 fuel bag tanks and 2018 FIA HTPs. • A significant and fabulous McLaren in which you can race at some of the best circuits in Europe with Historic Formula 2 and in England with HSCC Classic Racing Cars and Aurora XL, while also being the pride of any collection. Formed in 1963 by New Zealander Bruce McLaren, McLaren Motor Racing has become a household name thanks to the continued presence and success in Formula 1. Bruce had begun his Formula 1 career as a driver, competing for Cooper alongside Jack Brabham. McLaren took the first of three Grand Prix wins for Cooper in 1959, as the youngest victor to that point at just 22, and finished second in the 1960 World Championship. -
ACES WILD ACES WILD the Story of the British Grand Prix the STORY of the Peter Miller
ACES WILD ACES WILD The Story of the British Grand Prix THE STORY OF THE Peter Miller Motor racing is one of the most 10. 3. BRITISH GRAND PRIX exacting and dangerous sports in the world today. And Grand Prix racing for Formula 1 single-seater cars is the RIX GREATS toughest of them all. The ultimate ambition of every racing driver since 1950, when the com petition was first introduced, has been to be crowned as 'World Cham pion'. In this, his fourth book, author Peter Miller looks into the back ground of just one of the annual qualifying rounds-the British Grand Prix-which go to make up the elusive title. Although by no means the oldest motor race on the English sporting calendar, the British Grand Prix has become recognised as an epic and invariably dramatic event, since its inception at Silverstone, Northants, on October 2nd, 1948. Since gaining World Championship status in May, 1950 — it was in fact the very first event in the Drivers' Championships of the W orld-this race has captured the interest not only of racing enthusiasts, LOONS but also of the man in the street. It has been said that the supreme test of the courage, skill and virtuosity of a Grand Prix driver is to w in the Monaco Grand Prix through the narrow streets of Monte Carlo and the German Grand Prix at the notorious Nürburgring. Both of these gruelling circuits cer tainly stretch a driver's reflexes to the limit and the winner of these classic events is assured of his rightful place in racing history. -
The Ex-Alan Stacey, Works 1959 Lotus 15 Chassis No. 621-3 Engine No
! The Ex-Alan Stacey, Works 1959 Lotus 15 Chassis No. 621-3 Engine No. 1097 • Driven with notable success for Team Lotus by Alan Stacey during the 1959 season. • According to a leading historian to have potentially been taken to Le Mans in 1959 as a spare car or even a second entry. • Sold to New Zealand in 1959 where it continued a well documented and successful racing career on into the 1970’s. • Driven to an impressive 7th in the 1960 New Zealand Grand Prix by Jim Palmer, in the company of Moss, Mclaren and Brabham, all in 2.5-litre Cooper Grand Prix cars. • Re-imported into the UK by respected historic racer and collector Spencer Flack. • Raced with great success by its current owner since 2008, with numerous wins, overall class victory in the Stirling Moss Trophy 2009, 2010 and 2011, 2nd in the Madgwick Cup and a 5th in the Sussex Trophy at the Goodwood Revival and an impressive 2nd overall in the hard fought Plateaux 3 at Peter Auto’s Le Mans Classic. • Meticulously prepared by one of the most respected names in historic racing with no expense spared, having seen little or no miles since its last refresh. • This is an incredibly rare opportunity to acquire such an original and well regarded Ex-Works Lotus and an absolute proven front running ‘50s Sports Car. To many, the 1950s saw sportscar racing at its most pure, establishing and creating some of the most influential car manufacturers for the decades to follow. By the mid to late 1950’s the tides of sports car design were starting to turn and pave the way for things to come. -
2016 Media Guide
2016 MEDIA GUIDE Toyota Racing Series: TOP INTERNATIONALS CHALLENGE LEADING KIWI DRIVERS New Zealand’s premier single-seater championship has once more attracted a top field of international drivers to this country to do battle with New Zealand drivers for the most prestigious trophies in New Zealand motor racing. The championship, now in its 12th season, and in the second season for the new FT50 race car, the series was established to help young New Zealanders to advance their racing careers by giving them experience in modern composite-based ‘wings and slicks’ race cars. It has launched Kiwis into international racing careers. New Zealand graduates of the series include 2015 FIA World Endurance Champion Brendon Hartley, Le Mans 24-Hour race winner Earl Bamber, GP2 racers Mitch Evans and Richie Stanaway, Japanese Formula Three champion Nick Cassidy, Chinese Formula Masters champion James Munro, Porsche Carrera Cup Asia champion Chris van der Drift and V8 Supercars driver Shane van Gisbergen. This year three Kiwis are racing – James Munro (Christchurch), 2015 national Formula Ford champion Taylor Cockerton (Pukekohe) and 2015 Spirit of a Nation TRS feature race winner Brendon Leitch. Munro is having his third shot at winning the TRS championship as is Leitch, while it is Cockerton’s first year in the top category. The international talent they will race against is considerable. Brazilian 17-year-old Pedro Piquet, son of three-time world Formula One champion Nelson (1981, 1983, 1987), is returning to the TRS after contesting the opening rounds in 2014. In the intervening period he has won the Brazilian Formula Three Championship for the last two years and will be using the TRS series as a springboard into the FIA European Formula Three Championship where he will team up with British driver and 2015 TRS graduate Callum Ilott at Van Amersfoort racing. -

130R A Motorsport Packet by Ben Weiner
130R A Motorsport Packet by Ben Weiner The zeroth tossup is a joke tossup and should not be counted for the score in any way. It is up to the moderator as to whether they would like to announce that the first tossup is a joke or not before it is read. It should be clear that tossup zero is “just for laughs” before the tossup numbered “1” is read however. 0. Description acceptable. Toward the beginning of this work Fernando Alonso scratches his nose approximately five times in rapid succession. During the entirety of this work, two thirds of the audience likewise touches their noses. The first eight words of this work begin u/Alphamaxnova1’s season recap on r/FormulaDank. Walter Koster, the author of this work is also known for works that ask Charles Leclerc to rank his five “not so good races” and one in which he reassures Lewis Hamilton and Nico Rosberg, “Don’t fear, I don’t go through the (*) whole season”. Toward the end of this work, the speaker asks, “Are you too much under effort, under pressure?” This work contains quotes from Sebastian Vettel and Niki Lauda with the latter being quoted as saying, “take a monkey, place him into the cockpit and he is able to drive the car”. The 2014 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix Drivers Press Conference was the site of, for 10 points, what press conference question that lasts about 66 seconds and is a common copypasta to see on Formula One related discussion boards.

BMW Media Information BMW Motorsport Junior Programme 2015. BMW Motorsport Media Information. Motorsport Foreword. BMW Motorsport Director Jens Marquardt. Dear Media Representatives, The BMW Motorsport Junior programme enters its second lap in 2015. In Victor Bouveng, Nick Cassidy, Louis Delétraz and Trent Hindman we are once again supporting four talented young drivers this year, as we offer them the optimal preparation for a successful career in GT racing. Each of these four drivers has already gained initial experience in motorsport, and a number have already achieved notable success. However, all four Juniors are hungry for more. They want to become even stronger, to improve both on and off the track, and to find out more about working at the very highest level of motor racing. We are giving them the opportunity to do just that in 2015. Our new BMW Motorsport Junior programme proved to be very successful in its debut season in 2014. In Jesse Krohn, we helped to develop an outstanding young driver, who we are now continuing to support on the GT racing scene, and for whom we have high hopes. I would now like to welcome the second year of our junior programme for young GT and touring car drivers to the BMW family. Our Juniors came through against a lot of opposition during the selection process. This shows that they are very talented and we can expect great things from them. I am very much looking forward to seeing the four drivers in action during their year of training. The promotion of young drivers is steeped in tradition at BMW Motorsport. -
