November 2019

FROM THE PRESIDENT

Well we have just had a very busy month at the Auckland Car Club with many events happening. One event worth noting in particular is our Annual Roll of Honour ceremony held at the club rooms on the 16th of November where once again there were around 100 attendees. This event certainly gives you an idea of how the club has been in the lives of so many over the years. So much history, so many people that have come before us, certainly before me anyway, who have contributed so much to the sport and to the club. The Roll of Honour goes a little way to recognising and recording the achievement of these people. Congratulations to those 20 people that made it onto the board this year and thank you all that attended to make it such a great occasion. We start work almost immediately on next year’s ceremony and we welcome nominations from you out there that maybe go back a little further than some of us. There are three senior members of the club that are responsible for the selection process – Ted Jarvis, Mark Sheehan and Brian Rice or you can contact Craig Holmes the club secretary to propose your nominees. On behalf of the club I thank all four of the members mentioned above for their outstanding effort to be able to host this prestigious event. I would also make special notice of one other who has been front and centre every year since its inception. This is of course Kevin Lancaster, Kevin has done the club a fantastic service, and his presentations have been precise and entertaining. Unfortunately this year was Kevin’s last as MC and we will be looking for a replacement for next year so if you are (or know of) such a person please give Ted a call. Lastly, without sounding like a broken record, the executive would like to see some young blood on the committee. If you are an idea’s person, have time or energy on your side or simply want to contribute in some way we would be very glad to hear from you. I can almost guarantee you will at least enrich your understanding of the sport, how it works and who is involved behind the scenes. Don’t all rush at once with your résumé’s as no qualifications are required just a good friendly disposition will do. Until next time Brett Davy

ROLL OF HONOUR & MEMBERS REUNION 2019

INTRODUCING THE AUCKLAND CAR CLUB ROLL OF HONOUR INDUCTEES OF 2019

Owen Evans hails from a motorsport

background founded by his father Laurie. Having been involved with Laurie’s trials, rallying and racing exploits as a lad, he eventually moved into competing in such events from the early 1970s and quickly established himself as a competitive rally driver. However, it was in motor racing he was to become a success at the wheel of touring cars then Porsche racing where he became a dominant figure. Having set the New Zealand Land Speed record in a potent Porsche 911 Turbo, an accident saw him retire from driving then concentrate on team management specifically mentoring his son Mitch who still holds intentional recognition on the professional Formula E World Series.

Ken Flashman was one of the many

members who contested every form of club and motorsport event possible. Although a keen competitor in car trials and early rallies, Ken became a legend at the wheel of his Cooper Vincent 500 in which he enjoyed considerable success in hillclimbs and club race meetings. He also became an exponent of production car racing, particularly in Datsuns and Holden Toranas in long distance events where he enjoyed several class wins. Ken’s successes were also matched by his willingness as a volunteer when not competing and through his notable sense of humour.

Steve Gillard was a tireless behind the

scenes contributor to motorsport. Having come into the sport via rallying, he embarked on various racing campaigns in saloon car racing and Formula fords. He then became a regular administrator, firstly for the Formula Ford Championship and spent time on the Motorsport New Zealand Racing Board. His involvement in the BNT NZ V8s Championship particularly as a board member saw him receive numerous accolades for his down to earth practical guidance.

Karen Gillard on behalf of Steve Gillard

Judy Hanbury is one of the trailblazers of

New Zealand rallying. Along with her husband Roy, she entered motorsport contesting club hillclimbs, sprints and race meetings at the wheel of a standard but rapid Fiat 850 Fastback. After contesting some early trials and rallies she obtained an ex-works Morris Marina TC and established herself as a force to be reckoned with in both International and National events. She was the first woman to seriously contest rallying which opened the door for the many women competing in rallying today.

Graham Hill is probably better referred to

as “Mr Auckland Rallying” as his organisational involvement seemed to include most events held around the Forest for the Club’s first special stage rallies he went on to fill roles such as Route Co-ordinator, Clerk of Course and Assistant Clerk of Course for Club, Invitation and National rallies for nearly 20 years. Graham also competed in several rallies as co-driver notably for Quentin Phillips in National Championship events and also held senior vehicle scrutineering and safety supervision positions. He was also a long time Executive Committee Member and Rally Committee Chairman resulting in his Life Membership of the Club. Graham has also been awarded the Motorsport New Zealand Order of Merit for his contribution to New Zealand Motorsport.

Steve Horne followed his father George

into a lifelong career of cars and motorsport. As a qualified accountant and superb mechanical engineer, he was able to combine those management and technical skills to excel in various racing teams and organisations including Spears Speed Shop (NZ), Cook Motor Racing (NZ), Team VDS (Belgium and USA), Truesports (USA) and Tasman Motorsports (USA). Drivers he assisted to success are many but include Steve Millen, Reg Cook, Teddy Pillette, Bryan Herta and Bobby Rahal. Steve’s experiences included most forms of motorsport but his major successes came with multiple Indycar titles and double victory in the Indianapolis 500.

Frank Radisich initially became

synonymous with Allcomers saloon car racing in the mid-1960s at the wheel of the now legendary Humber-Jag followed by the rapid ex-David Simpson Lotus Anglia Fastback. Having been a front runner in saloon cars, especially long-distance production car racing, he then turned his focus to single seaters. After initially campaigning a Lotus 22, he moved into the big league driving his self-built HCM Cosworth followed by a McLaren M4A, M10A and M10B in which he achieved considerable success. Frank then concentrated on the Castrol GTX saloon series at the wheel of a potent Escort RS1600 and Mazda RX2 in which he also contested the Bathurst 1000 in Australia. Attention eventually turned to his son Paul’s racing career which proved hugely successful particularly in winning the FIA World Touring Car Championship twice.

Brian Rice has been a motorsport identity

over six decades in which his activities commenced as a mechanic for the likes of Sir Tom Clarke (Ferrari), Ross Jensen (Maserati, Jaguar), Jim Boyd (Lycoming, Cooper Holden, Valour) and Greg Lancaster (Tranzam Mustangs, Volvo). He also contested many races as a driver including cars such as Cooper-Holden, Volvo and Mini 7s. Brian was also prominent in administration having been an Executive Committee member for several years. He was also the Race Starter at Pukekohe and served as Assistant Clerk of Course at some club rallies together with co-driving in several rallies.

Tony Marsh is another of a long line of

mechanics who became a motorsport technical specialist and successful racing driver. Having worked as a mechanic and engineer in various racing teams covering touring cars, single seaters and rally cars it was as a performance engine specialist he was to become a legend. Tony’s engine building experience covered two litre touring cars and rally cars, Formula Ford, Formula Pacific and NZ V8 touring cars. He also hotly contested 2 litre Shellsport racing in the 1970s and early 1980s culminating in his winning the New Zealand Saloon Car Championship. Tony still holds a high engineering profile preparing engines for his son’s top fuel drag racing.

Chris Porter came into rallying via the

Porter family interest in Masport and after joining the Masport Escort Team as co-driver for Jim Donald was instrumental in the corporate aspects of Masport’s sponsorship involvement. After one and a half seasons alongside JD, he moved across to co-drive with Blair Robson and the duo won the 1978 NZ Rally Championship and claimed an historic 3rd overall in the 1979 Rally of NZ against a top class international field. Blair and Chris also achieved top ren placings in the 1976 and 1977 Southern Cross Rallies and the 1979 Castrol International Rally in Australia. He was also co-driver for British Champion Russell Brookes when they won the 1978 Rally of NZ and for also for Finnish superstar Pentii Airikkala in the 1980 Rally of NZ. Chris was also instrumental in securing famous names like Hannu Mikkola. Ari Vatanen, Russell Brookes and Peter Ashcroft to appear at Auckland Car Club Rally Forums.

Collected on behalf of Tony Marsh

Ray Stone was at the forefront of New

Zealand motorsport technology for five decades in his roles from general mechanic to a top Team Manager. Initially as a helping hand for Ron Roycroft the aspiring race mechanic then worked around the country as a mechanic on cars for legendary drivers such as Roycroft, Johnny Mansell, Bill Thomason. However, it was as mechanic and engineer for Paul Fahey that he established himself as a leader in his field having engineered cars for Paul such as the Lotus Cortina, Lotus Anglia Fastback, Shelby Mustang, Escort FVA, Boss Mustang and Cologne Capri. With the rising popularity of rallying, Ray moved into team management for the likes of the Mike Marshall, the Woolmark Ford Team and most notably the Masport Escort Team which won both the NZ Rally Championship and the Rally of NZ three times. Ray also spent considerable time as a technical advisor to Motorsport New Zealand and to Ford with their competition involvement together with liaison duties with the Ford Competitions Department in Europe.

Des Gulland was another of the quiet unsung heroes of the Auckland Car Club.

Although a Auckland provincial region. Having been instrumental in securing the Maramarua regular competitor in hillclimbs, sprints, rallies and trials, it was as a working volunteer in which he became synonymous with club activities. Whether is was doing check points on trials, control marshalling on rallies, supervising crowd marshalling or track crossings at Pukekohe, there was never an event in which Des was not seen volunteering. Des also served time as a member of the Club’s Executive Committee and a former Club Captain.

Roger Freeth achieved success through three different mediums of motorsport, firstly as a

top motor cycle racer in which he gained championship victories including the Bathurst 6 Hour enduro. Secondly as a top rally co-driver for such top drivers as Alan Carter, Reg Cook, Neil Allport and internationally with Possum Bourne as part of the Subaru World Rally Team. Thirdly. as a circuit racing competitor achieving considerable success in Sports Sedans and Production Touring Car Racing together with setting a New Zealand land speed record. His career as one of the country’s top astrophysicists also enable him to advance racing motor cycle technology and revolutionise computer rally pace note systems.

John Nicholson initially followed his father into powerboat racing where he enjoyed

considerable success before moving to the UK where he joined the McLaren organisation. Although highly skilled at all forms of mechanical works, it was as an engine building specialist in which he would become synonymous. Having set up Nicholson-McLaren Engines, he became one of Europe’s best specialising in all varieties of racing and rally engines. John also contested Formula Atlantic and Formula 2 racing at the wheel of a March 702 and radically designed Lyncar. After a couple of Formula 1 races, he eventually moved back to powerboat racing but retired after a couple of serious accidents and selling the engine business.

Johnny Reid is best described as one of the new, young breed of racing drivers who came to

international promise during the early 2000s firstly in Karting then Formula Ford where he won the NZ Championship. The following years saw him highly competitive in the Australian Formula 4000 Series, American Indylights Series and European Formula 3000 where he was a race winner. He was also a race winner in the International A1GP Series driving for New Zealand before returning to race Porsche GT3s and V8 Supercars with some success. More recently, Jonny has been a prominent front runner in GT racing both in NZ and Australia.

David Simpson burst onto the motor racing scene in the mid-1960s during the halcyon days

of allcomers salon car racing with one of the newly created Lotus Anglias and after notching early race wins added the now historic fastback body modification to win the 1965/66 NZ Saloon Car Championship. After taking a couple of seasons off to concentrate on business interests he returned to Group 5 racing with the potent Team Lexington Escort Twin Cam in which he was a regular class winner. David then took another hiatus from the sport but returned to contest the rally scene firstly in a Skoda after which he became prominent at the wheel of the ex-Mike Marshall Escort RS1600 with a new Brian Hart 2 litre engine and scored several top three positions. Earlier this year David was honoured by Motorsport NZ with an Historic and Heritage Award for his contribution to motorsport.

Ralph Watson is often described as the Burt Munro of Auckland owing to his outstanding

practical engineering skills. Having built and raced his own car (called a Watson BSA) to 5th place in the 1954 Ohakea Trophy race, he set about designing and constructing a radical racing car. The result was one of the most loved and famous cars in New Zealand motorsport history – the Lycoming Special. Ralph contested races around the country and achieved 4th and 5th placings in the New Zealand Grand Prix at Ardmore in 1957 and 58 respectively. Together with the success of the Lycoming, he also designed and built a rotary valve aero engine using a small selection of tools and parts available. Ralph is so highly regarded that his workshop has been intricately recreated in the Wanaka Warbirds and Wheels museum.

Craig Baird (MNZM) is a legend in NZ motor racing having won over 25 New Zealand

championships in both single seaters and touring cars including Formula Ford, Formula Pacific, 2 litre saloons, TranzAm and NZV8s and Porsche GT3s. In Australia he is also a winner in Australian V8 Supercars, Porsche Carreras, GT Sports Cars and is a former Bathurst 1000 race winner. Among his most outstanding successes were three consecutive New Zealand Grand Prix victories and a three-time recipient of the Jim Clark Trophy. Craig continues his involvement in motor racing as Driving Standards Observer for the Australian Supercars Series and is also a Member of the New Zealand Order of Merit.

Peter Bruin is one of the unsung legends of Kiwi motorsport. Having competed in various

club and invitation events at the wheel of a single seater humorously nicknamed “Bruin’s Ruin” he set about designing and building his own immaculate Targa-Fiat in which he contested sports car racing with some success. So impressive was the presentation of this car, he was offered a job at the McLaren Formula 1 team where he spent three years as a mechanic and fabricator. On his return to New Zealand he continued his design and construction of hugely successful speedway midgets, go-karts and classic racing cars including the historic ex-Denny Hulme Cooper Climax T45, a Lotus 11 and beautifully built C-Type replica. Peter was also a member of the Club’s executive committee for some time.

Heather Spurle entered motorsport at a time when it was difficult for women to become

accepted but she was soon to become a force to be reckoned with. Her career included Formula Pacific racing in which she finished 6th overall in the New Zealand Grand Prix. She further cemented her reputation contesting the Bathurst 1000 and Sandown 500 races together with Bathurst 12 hour and 24 hour events. Heather also contested other classes including Peugeot Sport racing and some Tranzam events before becoming a multiple land speed record class holder. However, it was setting two new World Women’s Water Speed records in power boats and hydroplanes which saw her achieve international acclaim. Heather has also received a variety of awards including the New Zealand Commemoration Medal (1990), Motorsport Person Of The Year Award (1996) and an MBE in the Queen’s New Years Honours (1991).

HONORARY INDUCTEES

Dick Bennetts is without doubt one of this country’s finest exports and motor racing

businessmen. Having worked as an engineer in New Zealand for drivers including Dennis

Marwood and David Oxton, he ventured to the UK in the early 1970s where he was to

establish himself as one of the best engineers and team managers. After working various jobs

including preparing a BMW M1 for Nikki Lauda, he moved to West Surrey Engineering running

cars in the British Formula 3 Championship. He eventually took over the setup and renamed it

West Surrey Racing which is now part of British motor racing folklore. Over the decades. Dick

has run Formula 3, Formula 3000, A1GP and British Touring Cars for drivers such as Stefan

Johansson, Ayrton Senna, Maricio Gugelmin, Rubens Barrichello, Mika Hakkinen, Eddie Irvine

and Alan McNish. Dick’s team also fielded several successful touring cars and this year saw

their drivers Colin Turkington and Andrew Jordan finish first and second in the British Touring

Car Championship for team BMW.

Jim Scott is a legend of New Zealand rallying.

Having initially specialised in the early style car

trials and rallies both as a driver, navigator and

organiser, he soon became interested in the

modern special stage rallying which was rapidly

gaining in popularity. Scotty soon established

himself as both a top co-driver and team manager

by co-driving Scottish driver Andrew Cowan to

two victories in the Heatway Rally of New Zealand

in 1972 (Mini Clubman GT) and 1976 (Hillman

Avenger GT). He was also co-driver for Finnish ace

Ari Vatanen in the 1977 Rally of New Zealand

where they finished 2nd overall together with co-

driving duties for Angus Hislop, Tim Gibbes and

Possum Bourne. Jim also served as a Team and

Service Manager with top teams including the

Masport Escort Team in Australia, Subaru NZ and

Chris West’s international campaigns. He also

served several years as a MANZ Steward, Chief

Auckland Area Steward and as Chairman of the

MANZ Rally Advisory Committee while in the

MANZ Executive Board.

ACC YOUTH MEMBER – TAYLER BRYANT

Well done Tayler and congratulations on your scholarship

From left – TOYOTA GAZOO Racing Scholarship drivers Sam Fletcher and Brock Timperley with CareVets Scholarship drivers Ryan Wood and Tayler Bryant.

Four of the country’s most promising young drivers gave their racing careers a major rev up today as they secured scholarships worth $25,000 each to race in the 2019-2020 Toyota 86 Championship.

Successful karter Ryan Wood (15) from Upper Hutt and young Pukekohe talent Tayler Bryant (14) have secured drives in the CareVets Scholarship cars, while Hamilton’s Brock Timperley (25) and Lower Hutt driver Sam Fletcher (24) will race cars provided by TOYOTA GAZOO Racing New Zealand.

Each receives a season-long lease on one of the Toyota 86s. Additional equipment like trailers and pit lane equipment are also included in the CareVets package.

Eighteen young drivers applied and the best squared off on the track for a shot at the scholarship places for this summer's six-round championship, which will be televised live and as highlights. It includes race weekends at circuits on both the North and South Islands.

Drivers were tested on the track and off track today at Pukekohe Park being put through their paces on data analysis, driving technique, timed laps, fitness and interview technique.

The four drivers who won scholarships after the rigorous tests were delighted to have secured the valuable scholarship cars, which have been designed to make the popular Toyota 86 Championship more accessible for up and coming racing talent.

The most experienced of the quartet, Brock Timperley, said the scholarship presented a wider opportunity to develop his racing skills.

“I have been looking for the most competitive tin top class to sharpen my skills,” he said. “You can always improve your racecraft and I'm looking forward to developing my skills in such a competitive environment. It's also great to be running in a manufacturer-supported series, which of course is one way to open doors in anyone's racing career."

The youngest of the four, Tayler Bryant added: "I haven't been racing long at all and was inspired to get onto the track by Chelsea and Joel Herbert. The scholarship is a great opportunity to really learn and develop as a racing driver. I have to be targeting the Rookie title but a top seven overall is also a realistic challenge. I know the North Island circuits too, which will be a help and enjoy Pukekohe particularly, as I have done literally hundreds of laps."

All drivers will enjoy their first full run out in their new cars when the series competitors run a full day’s testing at the Pukekohe track on Thursday.

“The CareVets programme has always provided huge opportunities for young drivers in the series and this will continue with an additional two scholarship cars provided by TOYOTA GAZOO Racing,” added category manager Geoff Short.

“All four of these talented youngsters now have a chance to compete and win at championship level and use the programme as a great springboard for their careers. It will be fascinating to watch how it all shapes up for them in what will be a competitive field of hungry racing drivers.”

The six round championship begins in Pukekohe before heading to the South Island for rounds at Highlands Motorsport Park and Invercargill’s Teretonga Park. It then moves to the North Island for the New Zealand Grand Prix meeting at Manfeild - Circuit Chris Amon and then onto Hampton Downs before concluding at the Virgin Australia Supercars event at Pukekohe Park in April.

NICK CASSIDY CLAIMS SUPER FORMULA CROWN

TOM’S Racing driver Nick Cassidy has etched his name into motor racing history by winning Japan’s prestigious SUPER FORMULA crown.

Cassidy is the first New Zealander to win the championship and the first international to win the title since André Lotterer in 2011.

The 25-year-old claimed the title with a second-place finish behind Team Mugen driver Tomoki Nojiri, who won his first SUPER FORMULA race in five years.

Cassidy began the season at Suzuka Circuit by making history in the first race of the new Dallara SF19 in what was also his first SUPER FORMULA race for TOM’S Racing.

The title comes a year after he finished runner-up to Naoki Yamamoto in the 2018 championship, which saw him finish just one point in arrears. This year Cassidy won the championship with a three-point advantage.

The Kiwi paid tribute to TOM’S Racing who he also won the SUPER GT Series in 2017.

“That was so, so tough,” Cassidy said.

“I don’t know what to say. My team are amazing. I’ve won every championship now with TOM’S in Japan. That doesn’t say everything about me, that says everything about them.

“They are a great group of people, they are like my family. I’m just happy to be the guy to repay them for that.

“It’s so difficult. Emotionally, it’s very up and down. There are so many drivers in this championship that it’s hard to be the top all the time.

“It’s about the days that you’re not at the top to make the most. I think we did that well this year. When we were not fast we got a good result and when we were fast we could make the result.

“Thank you to Toyota, GAZOO RACING, TOM’S and my family.”

Nick is an ACC member and has previously received the Bruce McLaren Trophy
