Biography

Tim RedmondIm a young, dedicated person who has always had a dream to race cars.. My dream of racing cars came from humble beginnings back in 1995 when the first Need for Speed(PC) game was released on the market. Unfortunately, I didnt have any financial backing to start racing at such a young age. Despite this, i decided it would be my challenge to put myself into a postion where i could race, and not before i was too old to start making a career of it.

Here I am today. Working hard at my job and always looking for ways to help promote, and raise funds for my new career. I am 23 and i work as a Web Developer for one of New Zealand’s largest telecommuncations company.

I was given an opportunity to drive a V8 Holden Race car through the guys at Holden Hot Laps. It was an awesome experience and for anyone Holden Hot Lapswanting to see what its like to drive, or be in a race car then i would suggest you try that! More importantly, Phil Blythe the race driver i was with gave me plenty of praise as i gave him “the best race experience he has ever had with a new driver”. He said “you never missed an apex, you turned in at the right time and accelerated well”. What really took me, and yes i have video evidence of all of this is when he got out of the car, looked over to Stuart Roddick and said “This kid is good!”. From that moment i knew i was destined to race a car.

Having already sat my Race Licence, i am ready to get started. I will be racing in the Mazda Pro7 series run nationwide. I will have a new website which i will be advertising soon so watch for updates.
