The Historic Racing Club Inc is proud to announce
THE BRUCE McLAREN FESTIVAL

JANUARY 2010
In 1970 New Zealand’s Bruce McLaren died in an accident at Goodwood, UK, while testing his latest Can-Am sports racing car in preparation for the 1970 Can-Am series of races to be held in USA and Canada. Forty years later, to mark the significant contribution made by Bruce to international motor sport, the Tasman Revival Series 2010 will feature the ‘Bruce McLaren Festival.’
The Tasman Revival Series 2010 ( www.tasmanrevivalseries.com ) featuring the Bruce McLaren Festival will be held over consecutive weekends.
First Event
The first event will be the’ Tasman Revival 2010 - Hampton Downs Classic’ to be held at the new 3.8 km international Hampton Downs Motorsport Park’s new track www.hamptondowns.com over the weekend Saturday 16th/Sunday 17th Jan 2010.
Hampton Downs circuit is located on State Highway One, 60 km south of central Auckland and 70 km north of Hamilton.

With Formula 5000 going from strength to strength in New Zealand we will be guaranteed a large field of F5000 cars along with Historic Formula 1 cars from the same era in the Tasman Revival Series 2010.
Both of the Tasman Revival Series 2010 events will be promoted and run by the Historic Racing Club (HRC) Incorporated. The HRC has a long & proven reputation for running successful Historic, Classic and Marque Motorsport Events.

Bruce McLaren Trust
The Bruce McLaren Trust welcomes the invitation by the HRC Inc to be part of the Bruce McLaren Festival 2010. The Trust will be keen to see a large number of McLaren and other cars that Bruce was associated with come "home to New Zealand"
As guardians of New Zealand’s Motorsport History and Heritage, the aims and objectives of the Festival are very much in line with the Trust objectives to promote in perpetuity the memory of Bruce McLaren, and to own, restore, and display McLaren cars.
Linking past present and future is always a priority for the Trust and it is exciting for the Trust to be associated with the Festival.
This will be one of first major events to be held at the new Hampton Downs race track and complex. Bruce was associated with the build of Pukekohe back in 1963 – this is history repeating itself for the Trust to be involved with this new era. I urge you to visit www.hamptondowns.com to view what this large project will do for Motorsport in New Zealand.
For further information on the work of the Bruce McLaren Trust log on to our website www.bruce-mclaren.com.
I look forward to seeing you in New Zealand at the Tasman Revival Series 2010 Bruce McLaren Festival.
