Vincent takes out first Hampton Downs round
 - 7-Feb-2010


With names like Hulme, Amon and McLaren engraved into the historic motorsport circuits around New Zealand – this weekend was the dawning of a new age, as the new generation has been given a ‘blank canvas’ – a chance to put the first strokes of ink onto what will no doubt be a colorful future, at the new Hampton Downs circuit.

 

With the program’s main event that included the likes of Evans, Bamber and Pentus – it was the Weldwell New Zealand Formula First class, in many eyes, that stole the show over the weekend. 
 
As Aaron Hodgson, Andrew Vincent and Jamie Gaskin - along with the ‘old guys’ Michael Shepherd and the returning Ian Foster redefined the words ‘close racing’ continuously throughout the event.

 

After a round win in mostly wet conditions last time, Andrew Vincent continued his form, this time in the sweltering heat, as he took two victories and the lap record in the Dodson’s Autospares/Squawking magpie machine on the way to taking out the round.

 

In race 3 veteran and reigning champ Ian Foster prevailed in what would once again go down as one of the best, not to mention closest races this year, as the top three would be covered by 0.074 of a second at the line.
