To quote Jim Barclay in an article he sent me before the Porsche Festival:

Peter Fitzgerald (Aus) brought his Porsche 911 to the Bay Park ‘New Year’ meeting held on 28th December 1980. As the meeting progressed the car was seen to be smoking badly. Although the 911 was entered to race at Pukekohe in January 1981, a new crankshaft had not arrived in New Zealand in time for it to be fitted to the Porsche engine, so the Pukekohe entry was scratched.

Peter Fitzgerald was 3rd in the 1981 Australian Sports Car Championship behind winner, John Latham in his Porsche Turbo and Murray Bryden’s Lotus 7 S4. In 4th place was John Walker in the Magnum Wheels sponsored Porsche Turbo.
