New Zealand's lengthy list of motorsport stars are coming together, launching a new virtual series to help raise money for small businesses over lockdown.
Brendon Hartley made a call 6 weeks ago that he is leaving his home in Monaco and returning to new zealand with his wife. Hartley is a two-time le mans winner and ex Formula One driver .
Hartley and 25 of New Zealand's best drivers will come together tomorrow night to compete against each other. The series will decide New Zealand's best all-round driver, in a virtual sense . The series, named "Racing Local" will see Brendon Hartly up against Le Mans teammate Earl Bamber, Supercars duo Scott McLaughlin and Shane van Gisbergen, legend Greg Murphy, Formula E's Mitch Evans, rising duo Marcus Armstrong (Formula 2) and Liam Lawson (Formula 3) and others.
The series will go for over four weeks.
The virtual switch isn't proving as easy for the group.
"I think the main thing is us giving back to these local small businesses that so many of us have relied on over the years," Hartley tells 1 NEWS.
