Wow, so great that Team Motive managed to put this together. I’m only a small cog in this big inclusive ability race car machine, and it’s awesome! So great to be on Pukekohe track and racing this car against so many other vehicles, at the last B&H500, ever! Team Motive set up a 3 team
So driving (technically racing) around the same track I know, Hampton Downs was great in a MX5 aka ZoomZoom. ZoomZoom is a Team Motive vehicle, a wonderful group of people who built this machine. This small collective of people ties disability together for a unique experience. There’s a few of us that started a project
