Targa Tour. | Schumacher, Senna, Ricky Bobby | A father of 4, and managing director of a software development business, I'm lucky to have a wonderful partner Anna who lets me indulge my childhood dreams! Obsessed with motorsports and cars from a young age, I've dabbled in karts in NZ, Australia and the UK without much note. Then progressed onto track days in cars. After nearly writing myself off at high speed at Hampton Downs in a Lotus Elise, I decided I needed a car with a roll cage! Got one, did one Targa Tour (and loved it!). I eventually got tired of my mate James Whitlock (car 36) telling me how great 2k Cup is, and dived in, starting in a BMW 318ti, which was quick in the wet (winning the inaugural mid-10 shootout at a damp Pukekohe track by 1.2 seconds!), but proving slow in the dry. So for season 6, I joined the masses and traded the BMW for a Trueno. Current 2k Cup Blasta Cars karting champ. Active in iRacing, currently doing the Global Mazda MX5 championship. Look me up!

My team and I get as much of a kick out of being a pretend raceteam as we do from actually racing. I'm not sure if that's good or bad. Alex: Continuing on from her day job as an early childhood teacher, Alex manages the team during race weekends - no prizes for which group she says is better behaved. A hard task master, she always makes sure people & parts are where they need to be so everyone else can be focused on being adequate. George: spends his weekends wrenching on the #32, either fixing stuff or trying something he read about on a forum. He loves dealing with C.V.s and brakes, and has done some impressive electrical work. Having driven in a couple of races before selling his own Integra, he also spends a lot of time moaning about how he doesn't have a race car anymore. | Nothing good I wouldn't imagine.

Season 6 (2018-2019) | Actual motorsport experience prior to this? Well I won a karting race at a corporate gig once... | Mr Scott Dixon, Possum Borne, the Smith brothers, and so many other Kiwi's that have made us proud. Then there's all the good people in 2Kcup sharing the passion that makes all this possible and enables someone like me to be a racing driver. | I guess I never really expected to become a famous racing driver. Well I mean I knew deep down of course that I had a rare talent for it but for so many years nobody else noticed. Perhaps just watching it on TV wasn't enough. Then one fine summers day Mr James Smith sold me his race car and everything changed. That day may possibly go down as one of history's great turning points. That was the day that Gordon began a journey into what had up until that moment only ever been a dream. Becoming a Racing Driver... and the beginning of wanton self promotion. Final Touch and polishing cars every day made it possible, My wife and 3 boys have been super supportive, and it's only a matter of time till there's more of us on the track . I can't wait. | ||
