PA Auckland The Christchurch rider, Bert Jones, who has dominated smaller capacity motor cycle racing classes for the last couple of years, will make his Formula One debut at Pukekohe at the weekend.
The 24-year-old is taking on the country’s top riders for the first time on a Yamaha TZ7SO. Tomorrow’s races are the first round of the national motorcycle championships and the fields have been swelled by overseas competitors, who are using the meeting as a warm-up for the international series which starts at Wanganui on Boxing Day.
