Tucked way back in this mornings Herald. Scott Dixon has won his 4th Indy title. what an achievement for a piss-ant N.Z'r to do this in the U.S of A.

You must know by now that real men follow drugby and even go around dressed up like the players in their favourite franchise. The motor sport equivalent is AVESCO.

err that's not what this says. THE CHAMPION: Scott Dixon took advantage of what turned out to be a monumental mistake by Juan Pablo Montoya, winning Sunday??

Lucky to get any mention in the media , although it was over a month ago . No mention of Earl Bamber & Brendon Hartley winning Le mans . BUt see they are bringing those Porsches & the boys for laps of HD at the Jan Festival of motor racing .

That was dead weird, with all the history of Le mans you would have thought even our ball obsessed media might have made a bit of a fuss over that.

The piece about Scott was one of the '2015 highlights', not news.
Total agree about the lack of coverage and the fact that only Scotty has been named for the Halberg awards says a lot. Brendon being a WORLD Champion surely deserves better.
Apparently Scotty is doing the Leadfoot in the 1903 Darracq! Anne Thompson is the brave pilot of that machine - which only has brakes on two wheels I believe, so Scotty is going have a real ball.

for scott to even still be in that team is a major achievment. chip ganassi racing was well known for chopping drivers after a season or two for even getting "good" not great results. for scott to still be there is a miracle. of course at the halberg awards he will be ignored just like all our other motorsport acheivers

how often do we see Bruce Anstey mentioned in NZ media, even after winning 10 IOM titles & this year the super bike class

Who actually cares? I didnt know the guy and had ever heard of the racing class until it ended up in our media because a kiwi was winning. If they had a race here I might care. actually, probably not

Who cares what you think.The point is he races in one of the biggest events on the world stage and succeeding.The fact you have never heard of him would tell me you don't get out much and live a very sheltered life.

I sometimes wonder why some people ever come into a motoring messageboard when quite clearly, unless they are asking a question, they have zero interest in motors or motorsport, particularly given the thread title.

Perhaps if he had been racing those plastic shilouette aussie V8s & was at puke he would have got a write up Media dont bother look far

Yet a girl jumps over a stick using another stick & it gets on national news (not trying to downplay a pole-vaulting junior record BUT it does highlight extreme bias in sports media. oh & it helps she's by no means ugly I suppose)
