The NZV8s Championship is generally acknowledged as being a motor racing category in which it is very difficult for a rookie to achieve success. However Auckland driver Tim Edgell has made great progress in his first season in the class and recently scored his first top ten placing at only his sixth outing in the championship.
There is no doubting Edgell s ability as a driver. After a successful karting career he became the New Zealand Formula Ford Champion in the 2003/04 season. Since then Edgell has spent one season in the Toyota Racing Series before making his NZV8s Championship debut in a Ford Falcon at Pukekohe last November.
The most recent rounds of the championship in the South Island last month saw Edgell forging his way ever closer to the ultra - competitive top ten with the breakthrough result being achieved with a 9th placing at Teretonga Park.
