Mike has been racing since 2002. He has won many Targa classes from 2004 to 2010 with Mike Tubbs in his BMW M3. The two Mikes won the 2014 NZ/North Island Endurance series overall. Mike then partnered up with Rick and Dion Cooper and won the first-ever 12 hour endurance race in 2010, in a genuine Ford GT40 at Hampton Downs. Currently a BMW Race Series competitor, Mike came with his brother in law last year to support him and loved it so much he’s rapt to come back and have a go. This car is very quick on this tight road and with his tarmac Targa experience, it should suit Mike.
