Pedro Piquet has put another famous name on the NZ Motor Trophy after winning the main race at the third round of the Toyota Racing Series at Hampton Downs today.
First presented in 1921, the solid silver trophy used to be awarded to the winner of the New Zealand Grand Prix and has the names of five different Formula One World Champions on it.
Piquet's father Nelson, himself a triple world champion looked even more pleased than his son at Pedro's success, perhaps recognising the significance of the trophy's history.
The result has taken Piquet up to second on the points table after starting the weekend seventh.
"I had a very good start," said Piquet. "Getting pole position in qualifying yesterday was really important."
