||
| Whakatane driver Christina Orr not
only enjoyed her weekend of racing at the ITM400 in Hamilton over the
weekend but came away with her best result for the season and a car
with less damage than usual. On a street circuit which ate many a race car over the weekend, Orr's smooth driving style kept the Holden Commodore off the walls and on-track to earning her some creditable results and 14th overall in the BNTV8s at the weekend. "The weekend was great, we had lots of fun, we came away with a straight car and the best result this season, the only damage we had was from where I hit the tyre at the chicane with my spoiler and that was two laps before the end of the last race." she said. read more |

Thursday 25th March FINAL ROUND - BNTV8s Championship 2009-10 Round six Taupo Motorsport Park 20-21 March 2010 Orr Sets Goals for New Season |

| Whakatane's Christina Orr
had an enjoyable and successful first season in the nation's toughest
motorsport category the BNTV8s Championship which wrapped up at Taupo
Motorsport Park at the weekend. Throwing herself in the deep end at the season's opener at Pukekohe last November the transition from open wheelers to the aggression of V8 tourers was not unexpected and she has shown herself able to mix it up with the big boys. "I thought that I would get bullied a lot more and come away from rounds with a broken car that was non-existent after being beaten up. Overall I was happy with the season but a little disappointed that in some of the races I didn't do better than I did. Everyone told me that it was a hard class and it would take a couple of years to get near the front." she said. read more |

At the weekend a field of hungry V8 drivers battled out round five on the Manfeild Autocourse in Feilding before heading to Taupo Motorsport Park next month to wrap up the highly competitive series.
Where the touring car adage 'rubbing is racing' is more of a suggestion than an indication of the BNTV8s genre, 22 year old Orr realises she wil have to fight to hold her own against a feild of very aggressive male drivers.

Christina Orr Looks Ahead to Manfeild
"Timaru is one of those tracks where we don't seem to get along, there's just no chemistry." she says.
However in a race weekend which saw no end of drama and even the demise of John McIntyre's championship lead due to his damaging his car beyond repair in the very first lap of race one, Orr was pleased to take the car back home in one piece after finishing all three races and earning some much welcomed BNTV8s Championship points.
