It's finally time for the return of the most watched Motorsport show Shell

and also from around the world again every Sunday afternoon this year. For
the next few weeks we will be highlighting some of the best action from
around New Zealand over the summer months.

Just a little action to get the show started today and highlights from the
V8 Ute's summer shoot out held at Sydney's Eastern Creek Raceway.

To the local scene now and the first of the big battle of the streets
meetings held on Boxing Day from Wanganui.

4.35pm Mike Pero Motorsport Series - Formula Ford and Bridgestone Porsche.

Coverage from a rather wet Timaru Raceway as the Mike Pero Motorsport series
moved into the New Year and the first of the event coverage from this
meeting today. First up we look at the Formula Ford class as well as the
Bridgestone Porsche series. There is more coverage next week from Timaru
including the new Toyota Racing Series and the mighty NZV8 Touring cars.

The start of our Speedway coverage also kicks off today and we look at one
of the feature meetings to be held this summer and the South Pacific

Thanks SVS - and we get over an hour of airtime! (well, somewhat less with the ads, but it's a shit load better than half an hour!)

It was Craig Flood and they either repaired it or he had a spare because he raced at the Port Nelson street race on the 2nd of January

Good coverage,I'll be making sure I've got something to race there next year

Yeah it was awesome coverage. That bike looked like it was a bit burnt. Lucky the fuel tank didn't rupture or it would have been a very toasted bike.

How about the rob holden mem races. Even though I was there I didn't have a clue what was going on, only knew who was leading. Wondered why anstey stopped coming around after a few laps.
