As Dixon, McLaughlan and Armstrong fly the flag well for New Zealand in IndyCar, we've also got van Gisbergen in winning form in NASCAR, and Liam Lawson waiting for his time in F1. \xa0

Closer to home we have the next big superstar, according to a number of analysts in the NZ racing scene. \xa0

His name is Tom Bewley and won this year\u2019s Toyota 86 Championship at only 16 years old. \xa0\xa0

This weekend he made his debut at the Porsche GT3, taking pole after being sick for the first practice session, and ended up finishing his debut in second place.\xa0

Bewley told Mike Hosking that seeing so many Kiwis succeeding in motorsports definitely encouraged him to chase his dream, but you have to stick to your own track and make it at your own pace.\xa0

He said that you can't compare yourself to other people and how fast they\u2019re going and where they\u2019re heading to and what they\u2019re racing.\xa0
