NZV8 stalwart Haydn Mackenzie has entered his ‘new generation’ FG Falcon (pictured, image by Geoff Ridder) in the V8 Challenge Cup support races for the NZSuperTourer endurance races at Taupo this weekend (Sept 1-2).
The V8 Challenge Cup regulations now allow these new generation cars to compete in the V8 Challenge Cup, but they have to run the same engine etc that the current NZV8s have been running. It is the first time a New Generation car has fronted up in the Challenge Cup.
“We decided to run in the V8 Challenge Cup races as it will give us a good opportunity to sort out the new chassis under racing conditions,” said Andrew Mackenzie, Haydn’s father.
“It is also a good opportunity for Haydn to get some racing mileage under his belt after his non-racing accident towards the end of last season.”
“Haydn and I would like to thank very much our sponsors – Castrol, Radio Sport, Toyota Financial Services, Albany Toyota, Albany Village Firestone and Wurth,” said Andrew Mackenzie.
