2013 End of Season Report The best news about 2013 is that it is nearly over! And on the bright side we have an undamaged car and my body is in one piece. This has been the toughest year in the JMR team’s existence, slipping from third overall last year to 15th. That hurts. But the only way we will get ourselves back to the front of the field is to work harder and smarter than our opposition and that starts right now. The V8SuperTourers series is the most competitive motor racing series NZ has ever seen, period. The teams are great, the drivers are excellent and the equipment is all the same. It’s the ability to put all of the same ingredients together and come out with a better result that defines the front and the back of the field. I am personally very excited about the challenges ahead for next year. We will start in the South Island on the newest circuit in NZ, Highlands Park. We return to Manfeild after a year away and we are not going back to Hampton Downs! So that gives me and our hard working team a chance to hit the reset button and focus on preparing the best we can for the third season of V8 SuperTourers. Before I turn all of my attention to next year it’s also the time to reflect on the year we have had. We started in January with a badly damaged car and a driver with recovering dislocated shoulder. Amazingly we were running third in the first race of the season at Hampton Downs…until we were turned around and finished 12th. We fought back over the day to finish third in the feature race. That would be the first of only two podiums for the year, the next was at Taupo finishing second in race two, before being turned around again while in the effective lead of the race and the round. By the end of the season we finished sixth in the final Endurance Race at Pukekohe, surviving 70 laps and running with the leaders pace right till the end. So we learned a lot about the car and the team over the year. We didn’t seem to catch a break just when we needed to. But as they say “that’s racing”. One thing that JMR has always been very fortunate with is our supportive sponsors and supporters that help us get through the hard times and can share in our enjoyment in the good times. On behalf of the JMR Team of 2013 I would like to thank you all for your unwavering support. This year has taught us a lot and we are better prepared already for the new challenges of 2014. So please enjoy your holidays and have a merry time with family and friends over the summer break. We look forward to announcing our plans in the New Year.
