Listen Later

This episode of The Logbook, our History of Motorsports series, delves into the brief racing history of two Maserati IndyCars brought to New Zealand and their identity issues. The presentation by Trevor Lister, narrated by Revel Arroway, follows Fred Zambuca and his family's racing endeavors post-World War II. Initially racing with a DeSoto Special, Fred eventually acquired and raced two HCLT IndyCars. The episode discusses Fred's modest racing success, the technical and historical conundrums related to the car engines, and the significant roles these cars played in both New Zealand and international motorsports. Finally, the episode touches on Trevor Lister's extensive background in automotive design and his contributions to documenting motor racing history.

This episode was narrated on behalf of Trevor Lister by Revel Arroway from You're Listening to Radio Revel Podcast.
