Earl Bamber #1 Le Mans LMP1 (first since 1966)

Brendon Hartley #2 Le Mans LMP1

Mitch Evans #2 Le Mans LMP2

Haydon Paddon #2 WRC Sardinia (first WRC podium for a Kiwi ever outside Rally NZ)

We haven’t had that many results in one day since the Bruce & Denny Show was on.

Almost like being a real country. With, y’know, population, and money, and stuff like that....

4 million people. 2 on the race podium at Le Mans. Statiscally a sheep would have been more likely (y’know except the fact they don’t drive cars).

If you follow that logic, it’s statistically more likely that a sheep than a person would be Prime Minister.

Oh, wait...

Ahahah!

BTW, where are you from in NZ? I didn’t know you where from here (you had a different username before no? Or am I confusing with someone else because of “moment of french” posts?)

The Brits did well too.

Nick Tandy #1 in LMP1

Matt Howson and Richard Bradley #1 in LMP2

Simon Dolan and Oliver Turvey #2 in LMP2

Sam Bird #3 in LMP2

Oliver Gavin #1 in GTE Pro

James Calado #2 in GTE Pro

A larger population than NZ, and a much more local race, but a good result nevertheless.

Bourne never ran a full WRC season. Subaru fielded him in the Asia/Pacific events, particularly in their earlier days, but the only one he won was Rally NZ. Though he did very well for them in non-WRC, winning Australian, NZ, and Asia/Pacific Championships repeatedly.

Auckland (aren’t we all?).

It’s been Distraxi forever, I’ve just started tacking stuff on the end, depending on what’s broken recently on the racecar.

Moments of French is just because I like French cars and the French have done a lot of glorious/weird stuff on tape.

Yeah I was just confusing with someone else :) It’s quite nice to see that many kiwis quite active on Oppo :)
