HRC Tasman Revival 2003/04

The Historic Racing Club/Formula 5000 Association was formed in New Zealand in 2003, and organised a series of races during that 2003/04 'down under' season, including one at a VHRSC meeting at Sandown Park in Australia.

A total of 22 cars competed during that impressive initial season: three Beggs; an Elfin MR5; four Lola T332s, three Lola T330s, two Lola T430s, single examples of T142, T190, T192 and T400; a McLaren M18; three McRae GM1s; and a Talon MR1. As well as the Kiwi drivers, Australian representation came from Aaron Lewis, Andrew Robson, and Bob Harborow; husband and wife Frank and Judy Lyons came over from England, and Murray Sinclair flew the flag for Hong Kong.
