  • World's Oldest Active Rally Navigator Takes Part in New Zealand Haka
    World’s oldest active rally navigator takes part in New Zealand Haka Classic Rally at age 98 Submitted by: Insight Marketing Concepts Thursday, 27 October 2016 Guinness World Record holder navigates for son, 73-year old ex-Formula 1 McLaren team manager, Alastair Caldwell in Oct/Nov Haka Rally. Dorothy Caldwell, who lives in Flagstaff, New Zealand, and is the Guinness World Record holder as the world’s oldest active rally navigator, is to take to the roads again in the New Zealand Haka Classic Rally, a 5,354 kilometer classic car competition on the North and South Islands of New Zealand. The rally starts in Auckland on October 30th and heads to Wanaka before coming back to Auckland again, ending on 25th November. 98-year old Dorothy will be navigating for her son, Alastair Caldwell in his 1963 Rolls Royce Silver Cloud III. The same team and car took part in the TransAm rally from New York to Alaska four years ago and Dorothy won the “Spirit of the Rally” award and her team came 5th overall. Alastair Caldwell grew up in New Zealand and in 1966 attended the Tasman series racing, where the mechanics encouraged him to come to England to work in motor racing. He did so and became a notable part of the multi-national McLaren Formula 1 racing team. In the 1970s he became team manager, managing world champions such as Emerson Fittipaldi, Nelson Piquet and James Hunt. In fact, this week, October 24th, marks the 40th anniversary of James Hunt winning the F1 World Championship at the Japanese Grand Prix in 1976, with Alastair as team manager, an event immortalized in the 2013 movie, Rush.

  • Rush to Glory: Formula 1 Racings Greatest Rivalry Free
    FREE RUSH TO GLORY: FORMULA 1 RACINGS GREATEST RIVALRY PDF Tom Rubython,John Watson,Rainer Schlegelmilch | 320 pages | 06 Aug 2013 | ROWMAN & LITTLEFIELD | 9780762791972 | English | Guilford, United States Top Formula 1's greatest driver rivalries | F1 News by PlanetF1 Director Ron Howard and writer Peter Morgan talk about bringing the intense rivalry between Formula 1 drivers James Hunt and Niki Lauda to the big screen in their latest collaboration, Rush. But when the subject of your film is British Formula 1 racing driver James Hunt - who was known for his playboy behaviour off the track - it was necessary to inject some steamy scenes to capture his free-spirited character and some of the glamour of the s. But it Rush to Glory: Formula 1 Racings Greatest Rivalry entirely appropriate and what we were going for. Rush sees Thor actor Hemsworth star as Hunt in the movie, which tells the story of his famous rivalry with Austrian driver Niki Lauda, played by Inglourious Basterds star Daniel Bruhl that led to a devastating crash at the German Grand Prix in It's an interesting choice of film for both Howard and writer Peter Morgan considering they weren't originally fans of Formula 1 before embarking on the project. Thinking no-one would be interested in the story, Morgan wrote the film on spec as a character drama without any actual racing in it, assuming - if the film was ever made - Rush to Glory: Formula 1 Racings Greatest Rivalry would only have a small budget. Bourne Ultimatum director Paul Greengrass had initially signed on to the project, but later pulled out due to the financial constraints.

He hated dressing up— wearing old blue jeans and often walking around in his bare feet, even on formal occasions. He drank heavily, smoked two packs a day, experimented with drugs, partied hard, and enoyed the ladies. He married one of them, Suzy Miller, a fashion model who eventually left him for the actor Richard Burton. While he became a media darling for the tabloid press, his behavior was less appreciated by Formula One journalists, who found him a frustrating mixture of boisterous charm and overbearing conceit.

  • Orange Times Issue 17
    The Orange Times Bruce McLaren Trust March/April/May 2017, Issue #17 As this Orange Times goes to press we are in the final stages of the McLAREN documentary process – working with the Australasian distributor and General Film Corporation on the previews and the releases. Whilst the official New Zealand Premiere is on Tuesday 30th May in Auckland, the public release worldwide will be on 1st June. However the first pre-release Private Previews in New Zealand will be held by the Bruce McLaren Trust on the week commencing Monday 15th May. These “McLAREN - see it first with the BMT” previews will be held in Auckland, Wellington and Christchurch and will be by ‘invitation only’ to members and supporters of the Trust. Invitations will be emailed to all with dates and details as soon as they are confirmed. It is our understanding that other private previews will be held in the UK and the USA and we will endeavour to keep our overseas members and supporters informed of any dates and locations. There are exciting times ahead and I do have to report that the documentary is excellent, emotional, with lots of photos and film that I have never seen. Roger Donaldson, Fraser Brown and Mathew Metcalfe have done a wonderful job. I was privileged to be flown to Melbourne to attend one of the first VIP screenings (a very small audience) and, in the company of McLaren Old Boys Jimmy Stone and Alastair Caldwell, and Zak Brown from McLaren UK, the 90-odd minutes just flew by. I can’t wait to see it again, and again, and again.

  • Ferrari in Art – the Sporting Legacy
    Ferrari in Art – The Sporting Legacy By International Artist Mark Dickens in collaboration with renowned F1 Photographer Keith Sutton Celebrating over 70 years of Ferrari ‘Ferrari in Art – The Sporting Legacy’ celebrates everything Ferrari. The cars, the drivers, the history and most importantly of all, the PASSION! Ferrari has an unrivalled, unbridled position in the automotive world and sits in a unique place embodying the very essence of beauty, design, speed, style, class and winning. These new series of artworks by Mark Dickens in collaboration with Keith Sutton encompasses all these lauded features. Comprising 25 paintings celebrating the first seventy years of Ferrari in a sporting context we have approached drivers, owners, fans, collectors, engineers and motorsport personalities asking them to express exclusively in their own handwritten words what the name Ferrari means to them providing a very real personal insight. Mark's paintings are mixed-media works, building layer upon layer of photographic transfers, hand-made paper, gold leaf, fabric, resin and paint. For each painting, drivers and motorsport personalities were asked to express in their own words what Ferrari means to them. The quotes were then incorporated by Mark into the painting, to provide a fascinating insight into what Ferrari means to them. Ferrari in Art – The Sporting Legacy The Collaboration British artist Mark Dickens is world renowned in F1, his work can be found in the Royal collections of H.H. Sheikh Hamdan Bin Zayed Al Nahyan to numerous Grand Prix circuits and collections around the world. He was commissioned by Bernie Ecclestone in 2011 to be the official F1 artist creating a painting for every Grand Prix.
