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.

  • Hot Wheels UCL and Group Lotus: Celebrating Colin Chapman's Legacy of Engineering Innovation
    The official industry newsletter of Lotus Engineering Issue 23 November/December 2007 UCL and Group Lotus: Celebrating Colin Chapman’s legacy of engineering innovation Hot Wheels Lotus Engineering Change the Rules Welcome Sometimes it’s great to see what happens when anything goes. The business of designing and engineering cars is a constant balancing act. Many factors influence the final product: market and customer requirements affect form and function, legislation is an unavoidable factor, engineering feasibility and manufacturing practically have to be considered. There are many more, not least cost – a product can only be successful if it works on a commercial basis. This careful balancing act is something that Lotus understands – it is critical for us to make a successful business out of niche volume cars – and it is something that our engineering clients value. It is incredibly important and at the heart of the work we do. But great things can also happen when talented designers and engineers operate outside the normal, ‘real-world’ constraints. The Tokyo motor show allows the Japanese Peter Morgan industry to play with technology. As ever, this year, there were many weird and wonderful examples. 10 Closer to home, the awesome Lotus Concept for Hot Wheels is the glorious result of Lotus Design being given the creative freedom to design a futuristic car to be made into a 1:64 scale toy car. Steven Crijns describes how his concept came to be. Although, if ever there was an article that was all about looking at the pictures, this is it. Sadly it won’t be on sale until next year, so too late for my Christmas list.

  • Tyrrell 010/2 Description AB
    ! 1980 Tyrrell 010 Chassis No: 010/2 • A competitive and useable ground effect entry to the flourishing FIA Historic Formula One Championship, with a sister 010 taking eight wins so far this season. • Historian Allen Brown has confirmed that this car was the replacement 010/2 for Daly at the US GP in 1980. Driven in 1981 by Ricardo Zunino and Eddie Cheever, with a 4th place at the British Grand Prix for Cheever, before being sold by Tyrrell as a complete entity to Roy Lane. • HSCC Historic Formula 1 Champion with Richard Peacock in 1989. • In the current ownership for the last 20 years, with minimal use. The Tyrrell Racing Organisation is a name that rings out with some of the all time Formula 1 greats, with three Formula 1 World Championships and one Constructors Championship to its name. It’s founder, Ken Tyrrell first came into racing in 1958 when he ran three Formula 3 cars for himself and a couple of local stars. Ken soon realised that he was not destined to be a racing driver and stood down from driving duties in 1959, instead to focus on running a Formula Junior team from a woodshed owned by his family business, Tyrrell Brothers. Tyrrell ran a variety of cars in the lower formulas through the 1960s, giving drivers like John Surtees, Jacky Ickx and most notably Jackie Stewart their single seater debuts. In 1968, Tyrrell’s involvement with Matra in Formula 2 was stepped up to the main stage of Formula 1, where Ken ran Matra International, a joint venture between Tyrrell and Matra.
