So this year, out premier historic racing event (remember we are a small country!) here in NZ is celebrating the career of Howden Ganley, successful F5000 and Sports Car pilot as well as dabbler in Formula One in years past. As such, the event has a huge focus on the F5000 cars, with a grid of 28 or so, another dozen or so turning fast demo laps and yet another dozen or so on static display. As usual, I'm out there, camera in hand to capture this machines in action, with supporting classes inclusive of Historic Muscle Cars, Sports Cars and GT's, Formula Libre, Historic Sports Sedans and more.
So here's a taster of the event from today's practice and qualifying - I'm very busy this weekend so will update sporadically.
Thanks for looking!
