Garage 66 | Ep#4 Jonny Reid

In this Garage 66 podcast . We’re marking 20 years since Jonny Reid first raced A1GP for Team New Zealand—in the car Kiwis came to know as Black Beauty.

The team’s seat holder was Sir Colin Giltrap, whose backing and belief put New Zealand on the grid and on the map…and in the process turbo charged our nations belief that we could take on and beat the world's best.

7 A1GP race wins across 2006–08, two runner-up championships, and promotions that stopped traffic—from blasting over the Auckland Harbour Bridge to a runway drag race against an Air New Zealand Boeing 777.

A couple of decades on Jonny is a family man – raising three children with wife Monique… he still races…and has dominated the national endurance scene for several years.

I’m Shaun Summerfield – and welcome to Garage 66.
