About Christina:
19 year old Christina Orr has been racing since she was six, in Karts, Formula Firsts, Formula Fords and now the Toyota Racing Series.

A driver who created history, Christina Orr became the first woman to win a Formula Ford podium with her third overall placing at Pukekohe. She began her career in Formula First where she constantly ran in the top three at the age of 13! Now, four years on, she has the opportunity to apply her obvious skills to the “hi-tech” Toyota powered racing cars.

Winner of the Manfield Winter Formula Ford Championship, she races in the Toyota Racing Series.

The only female competitor in the New Zealand arm of the internationally recognised Toyota Racing Series, Christina has adapted well to this premier open wheel championship.

With some excellent results in the 2005 season, including a couple of nail-biting efforts that saw the Whakatane teen pushing hard and matching the series' top drivers, Christina's season culminated in a respectable seventh place overall.

  • In the first week of September Christina attended a closed track test event just for her at Manfield Raceway, Feilding. Also in attendance was Mat Charles from Boxman, Christina's main sponsor and Steve Butler from Be Still/The Red Door.The purpose of the day was to have Christina drive whilst being put under different mental  and emotional stresses to see how she would cope, the end object being to build mental and emotional competence for Christina prior to the season beginning in November 2007.She drove a tin top Nissan Z race car, a far cry from her open wheel Formula Toyota. It was set up with in-car cameras and microphones to catch all of the action. We also had Keith, our camera man, along filming everything. A bonus was Mat getting to do 20 or so laps alongside Christina, having never been in a rally car before, this was a completely different experience, and one he thoroughly enjoyed!
