Tasman Motorsports

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Not to be confused withTasman Motorsport, a V8 Supercar team.

Tasman Motorsports Group is a former racing team that was owned bySteve Horne, a long-time motorsport figure who spent most of his career in the United States.

Previously the team was an American-based open-wheel racing team that competed in theIndy Lights series and, most notably, theCART series from 1995 to 1998. Tasman was one of the first teams to successfully field aHonda powered entry. Honda had entered CART the prior year withRahal-Hogan Racing, with very little success.

In the team's first and onlyIndianapolis 500 in1995, Tasman driverScott Goodyear led the race with 10 laps to go, but was subsequently black-flagged for passing the pace car while it was still on the track at the end of a caution period and relegated to 14th place.André Ribeiro captured the team's first win and Honda's first in CART later thatseason at theNew Hampshire International Speedway.

Thefollowing season, Ribeiro won a pair of races and teammateAdrian Fernández won once. They finished eleventh and twelfth in points respectively. However, in1997, the team'sLola chassis were clearly off the pace and Ribeiro switched toReynards midway through the season.

The team pared back to a single car in1998 and hired rookieTony Kanaan — who captured the Indy Lights championship for Tasman theprevious season — to drive. Kanaan finished ninth in points with a best finish of third, winning the Jim Trueman Rookie of the Year award. However, the team lost itsLCI sponsorship and 1998 would be its last season in the US.
