The Kiwis – Born to Fly story and its third instalment are set for a round of “premier” screenings that kick off tomorrow night (Wednesday 11th February) on Sky Sport NZ.
This is the latest edition of what has become a well-watched series that highlights the talents of not only New Zealand’s driving talent on a world and local stage, but also those in a variety of roles behind the scenes who are regarded as some of the leading figures in world Motorsport.
The series has also covered those on the business side of the sport, as well as manufacturing and designing products in New Zealand, which formed the basis of the second edition.
“ We always set out to highlight the massive support, and following that, New Zealanders have in the sport, and in this episode, we were able to uncover even more Kiwis out there and still acknowledge the many people of the past decades that have supported the sport”, commented co-producer Lyn Paton.
Kiwis – Born to Fly 3 visits the season-ending IMSA event, the 12 Hour Motul Petit Le Mans at Road Atlanta, where the team caught up with a host of Kiwis across many aspects of the event to yet again showcase the profile New Zealand has at the very top of the sport.
Speaking form Milan, Italy Producer David Turner currently on assignment as Senior Producer for Olympic Broadcasting Services added “I’m thrilled we have paid respect and added some of the great supporting figures that have aided the talent we now have and for supporting the ones we are grooming to be the next generation of Kiwis that are Born to Fly both on and off the track.”
Screening starts tomorrow night, Wednesday 11th February, and there is a great month of screening coming across the Sky NZ platforms, including around the start of the NASCAR and INDYCAR seasons.
