1989 Wellington Street Race Documentary
I posted this link in the Group A M3 thread over in Motorsport History but it's especially relevant in this forum also.
Excellent documentary following Schnitzer's build-up and racing at the 89 Nissan Mobile 500 in Wellington. http://www.nzonscreen.com/title/mona...ellington-1990 |

Wellington Nissan Mobil 500
Excellent documentary following Schnitzer's build-up and racing at the 89 Nissan Mobile 500 in Wellington.
[/QUOTE] Hi everyone, I hope you don't mind me jumping in here, but I'm really interested in finding some coverage of the 1990 Wellington Nissan Mobil 500, as I came over with a team running a Group 'N' Sierra Cosworth for that race and the race the next week at Pukekohe. I keep looking on the internet but I don't seem to be able to find anything. It was a fantastic trip, something that I will never forget, but I would be grateful if someone has some footage for me to watch. I have added a few of the pictures I took at the Wellington race. 'Brocky' RIP. 'Our' Sierra. Pirro and Cecotto. |

Care to post it on YouTube? I've been after this for ages. JB HiFi had this listed in their shop as being released on DVD in 2001, I put my name down for it. I'm still waiting for a phone call Can't find it anywhere! |

What a great documentary, loved it. The Wellington races got so little coverage here. Does anyone have a link to a map of the circuit used in those days? It's difficult to imagine where they went.

That takes some working out. Am I right in thinking it used the roads on the way south and then constructed a track on the harbour front on the way back through what is now Te Papa Museum?

That would be correct. Besides the Quays and Cable St, the straight section by Frank Kitts Park is all thats left these days.

Yep I must have had a brain fade when typing that. Went looking for the edit button once I noticed it but it seems to have disappeared!

It was an awesome event one which I wish they would bring back as it was one of the greatest street races - up there with Monaco
