Black Beauty driver Jonny Reid won the Sprint Race and finished fourth in the Feature, boosting NZ ahead of Switzerland and France on the points table. Reid, 27, described his Sprint win as the highlight of his career. “It’s huge, absolutely huge. It’s the greatest moment in my motorsport career,” he said. The next leg in the A1GP series takes place at Eastern Creek, Australia, in two weeks.
