F1 cars are no longer officially timed, which is why you get them doing donuts :) The hill record is still held by Nick Heidfeld, who drove a McLaren MP4/13 Formula One car up the hill in 41.6...

An interesting car for someone?

Thanks for that, you're right, it does soon add up! I talked to one of the English FJ drivers at Teretonga (the pea green Lotus 22 in my photos) and he was enthusing about all the racing - he'd done...

Hmm, but wouldn't that make it Formula Honda?!

Not wishing to hijack the thread but, as a mere spectator unaware of the costs of racing, does FF really cost $5,000 per meeting??!! Phew!

Expensive, but pretty - and rare! I'm sure the car is well-known to members of this Forum :)

Lotus Mark VI 1955...

Yes, the car looks absolutely amazing :)

Sorry, only made it down there on the Friday and that's all the photos I took - I've got heaps from last year (and 2009) though.

No pictures from Teretonga yet, so - here are some I took on the Friday test day

The Stuart Special...

You can still see something very similar for the big meetings at Teretonga these days, such as the NZ V8 meeting last month.

This car is also at Teretonga this weekend for the Classic Speedfest :)

and not long finished a rebuild in Invercargill. It was in the paddock at Teretonga today and is scheduled to demonstrate at the Classic Speedfest there this weekend.

Good question! The TradeMe listing gives no real information but I thought someone on here might know something. I'm not interested in buying the car so don't want to go asking the vendor questions...
