Legendary Kiwi drivers wave goodbye to Pukekohe (New Zealand Herald)

Two of the names most synonymous with Pukekohe come from different eras, but both have had a huge impact on motorsport talent in New Zealand.

"It's very iconic and unique in many ways and has stood the test of time. I think there is definitely something in the vibe, support and aura about Kiwi fans at your home event." Just the thought of what we've losing," said Murphy. The majority of Kiwi motorsport fans would dearly love to see 'Murph' and the number 51 fizzing around Pukekohe once again. Smith, still spritely at 81 years old, won three New Zealand Grand Prix in three different decades — 1976, 1990 and 2004 — and continues to race today. Even today it challenges the modern cars."

It was certainly the decade for Perkins and Castrol in V8 Supercars. With Castrol partnering with The Good Oil, we thought we’d look back at the most iconic Castrol V8 Supercar team, and we arrive deeply in the 1990s with Larry Perkins Commodores. In 1993, the dawn of the V8-only formula, Perkins was on full Castrol livery, scored pole position won the 1993 event with the late Gregg Hansford.
