BRANZ entry in Dunlop Targa NZ Roadrace
When the Dunlop Targa NZ Roadrace takes off from Pukekohe on Monday 23 October, all eyes at BRANZ will be on Car 215.
In a leap of lateral thinking, Chris Kane, BRANZ Science Communications Manager suggested that this year, he should
quite literally take the “maintaining your home” message on the road. “After a bit of persuasion,” he admits, BRANZ
agreed to a signage sponsorship for his entry, Car 215.
A competitive race driver of ten years’ Chris is in a good position to know exactly how much time, effort and dedication
goes into maintaining a top performing race car. “In fact, each of these cars is maintained to a standard better than
practically any domestic building in New Zealand,” he says. “Fortunately, the time and cost of keeping the average home
in New Zealand up to standard is a lot more reasonable than that which is required for these vehicles.”
Chris will use the event to promote “Maintaining Your Home” a publication recently released by BRANZ, and available from
leading bookstores and DIY stores throughout New Zealand.
