\"\"<\/a>Fastest qualifier Ken Smith drove his Lola T430 to win the rain-affected first MSC NZ F5000 Tasman Cup Revival Series race, held January 22nd, 2011, at the Hampton Downs circuit in the northern Waikato region of New Zealand.
\nAfter topping the time sheets in qualifying on Friday afternoon defending series champion Smith started the combined F5000\/F1 race on the first day of competition at the first of two NZ Festival of Motor Racing – Chris Amon meetings favourite but found himself on the back foot after running wide into the first turn.
\nMaking light of the streaming track conditions, however, he came back and in a dramatic move wrestled his way past fellow front row starter Mark Dwyer’s Lola T400 to reclaim the lead.
\nAs it turned out that was very much it as far as the race was concerned, Canadian visitor Jay Esterer bringing out the red flag (to stop the race) soon after when he lost control of his McRae GM1 and clouted the infield wall on the way up the start\/finish straight.
\nBy the time the track was cleared the rain which had been falling steadily since earlier in the day had increased to such an intensity that a decision was made to complete the race under the Safety Car, Smith credited with the win from Dwyer, series young gun Michael Lyons (Lola T400) and fellow UK visitor Peter Dunn (March 73\/A) with last season’s series runner-up Steve Ross (McRae GM1) fifth and F5000 category original Reg Cook (Lola T400) first of the series new faces in sixth.<\/p>\n

Torrential rain has forced event officials to postpone Sunday’s programme at the first NZ Festival of Motor Racing – Chris Amon – meeting at Hampton Downs.
\nSince the first day of racing was compromised by the monsoon-like conditions, officials decided to call an early halt to proceedings because of the on-going effects of the inclement weather.
\nFortunately the meeting was the first of two over consecutive weekends at the new circuit so entrants – particularly the many from overseas – will at least get a chance to contest their categories, including the programme-leading MSC NZ F5000 Tasman Cup Revival Series races, hopefully in better conditions, next weekend.
\nThe MSC F5000 Tasman Cup Revival Series is organised and run with the support of sponsors MSC, NZ Express Transport, Bonney’s Specialized Bulk Transport, Mobil Lubricants, Pacifica, Smith & Davies, Avon Tyres and Exide.
