January is a busy month for motorsport in New Zealand. By now all enthusiasts will know that New Zealander Jonny Reid won the A1 GP sprint race at the revised Taupo circuit. The Trust displayed the M8A for the first time wearing all its bodywork. Trust CEO Jan McLaren says the response was huge from the general public who hadn't seen a Can-Am car before and from Trust members who can see that the car is nearly complete but appreciate that it takes time and money to rebuild a car to such a high standard. Jan says the Taupo meeting was good for the Trust but she could do without the dust. As Taupo is on a volcanic plateau perhaps the dust will always be there.  

If you'd like to help with the restoration of the Can-Am car, please consider joining the Trust and offering a hand.
