Top Gear Live Drifting Demonstrations PDF Print E-mail
Tuesday, 09 March 2010 18:08

Andrew  Redward Top Gear Live, ASB Showgrounds, Greenlane NZ.  19-21st February 2010.

Friday-

The Top Gear Live Festival was the first of it’s kind, a fully custom built racetrack designed by Greg Murphy.  With many different types of racing and automotive entertainment taking place outside of the Top Gear Live Show, it was looking to be a promising event.  Friday morning we had a couple of test runs on the technical 2nd and 3rd gear course, drifting the whole track.  While the drifters sussed out the course quickly, the concrete barriers claimed a few other cars, mainly the classic v8 muscle cars who were getting a bit too eager with the loud pedal.  The Crowd response was enormous in the afternoon, with gobs of people flocking to the stands every time we came out.

Mitch Evans Delivers With Under-pressure Wakefield Win PDF Print E-mail
Monday, 08 March 2010 12:22

Mitch EvansMitch Evans has swept all three races in the opening round of the 2010 Formula 3 Australian Drivers’ Championship but as usual, the stats only tell part of the story.

It took a massive effort from the 15-year-old Kiwi this weekend to hold off a fired-up Ben Crighton, who applied immense pressure to Evans in each of today’s two races at Wakefield Park, near Goulburn, in New South Wales.

Evans won the sprint race this morning and the longer 25-lap feature this afternoon but had to drive on lap-record pace to stave off Crighton’s TanderSport machine.

On the very edge for every lap, the pair traded quickest laps in the feature before Evans did enough to secure the win and take an historic 100th national championship-level race victory for Adelaide’s Team BRM.

Halliday contested six rounds of the 2009 Championship and finished 7th overall in the points and also took out the coveted Rookie Trophy.

The popular Kiwi impressed with his debut appearance in the Series which also saw him contest a race with MRS thus giving him an insight into the team operation which led to his being signed for this year's full championship. The campaign marks the debut appearance of a New Zealand team with Halliday being officially supported by Porsche New Zealand through the Giltrap Group.

The ten rounds of the Porsche Mobil 1 Supercup are contested as support events to ten rounds of the FIA World Formula 1 Championship including Bahrain, Spain, Monaco, Europe (Valencia), Great Britain, Germany, Turkey, Belgium and Italy.

Sunday, 07 March 2010 09:43

Mitch EvansMitch Evans and Ben Crighton have put on quite the show to kick off the 2010 Formula 3 Australian Drivers Championship at Wakefield Park, in overcast but dry conditions today.

Whilst Evans scored the Meguiar’s pole award this morning, it was the first sprint race of the season – held over 16 laps – that was the biggest talking point of the day.

From the first lap to last, Team BRM’s Evans and TanderSport’s Crighton drove at eleven-tenths in a tense battle for the lead that saw the younger of the two Kiwis take the win by just one second, whilst Crighton left with the new outright lap record.

Crighton’s new benchmark topped the five-year old mark by one-tenth of a second to leave it at 54.56s.
