Kiwis right in podium mix throughou - 25th Dec 14
There was no shortage of podium finishes as New Zealand drivers continued to make their marks in major motorsport around the world.
From Scott Dixon in the IndyCar Series to Mitch Evans in the GP2s, from Richie Stanaway in the GP3s to Earl Bamber and Dylan Hartley in their Porches New Zealand's rich heritage continued at full throttle.
Dixon was disappointed that he couldn't defend his IndyCars title and that he crashed out of the famous Indy 500 But there were still two wins, a pole, four podiums and 11 top-5 efforts to prove that he remains a force in a series that switches from ovals to street circuits.It all added up to Dixon keeping alive his streak of finishing in the top-three in points every year dating back to 2006. He earned himself another contract with Target Chip Ganassi Racing.
Mitch Evans was full of anticipation in his second year at GP2 level as he signed for defending team champions Russian Time.The 20-year-old Aucklander proved that when his team, under new management, got the car right, he was as good as any driver with his aggressive style.
Sadly there were too many inconsistencies for him to mount a championship challenge though six podium efforts, including back to back feature wins at Silverstone and Hockenheimring were testimony to his ability on the glamour tracks.They were also proof that he could one day fulfil his dream of attracting Formula One interest.
Stanaway's season a level below in GP3 was even more frustrating. He was right in the title hunt at the halfway stage, buoyed by a feature win in Hungary and sprint win in Britain. But just four championship points in the final six races saw him limp out of contention.
Bamber proved the driver to bring home the titles in 2014 with a classy hat-trick in the highly competitive Porsche Carrera class that also used the Formula One meetings to showcase its cars and talent.Operating on the highly sought after Porsche scholarship worth 20,000 Euros, Bamber dominated around the world.He clinically defended his Porsche Carrera Cup Asia title and then set his sights on the Porsche Supercup.He quickly secured enough points to guarantee himself the rookie of the year title and then trumped that by claiming the drivers scholarship.His reward was a full works drive with Porches in 2015, where he will join a lineup that includes Hartley..
