Career history

Formula racing

Rob Wilson won a scholarship to race in the 1975 British Formula Ford season. The following year he returned to New Zealand to race in the New Zealand Formula Ford Championship where he came in second in the championship. The Kiwi won a British Formula Ford 2000 race at Mallory Park in 1978, driving a Reynard. When he entered the British Formula Three Championship he won the fifteenth race of the season at Mallory Park. Scoring another two podium finishes the Kiwi ended up sixth in the BARC championship. The following season Wilson raced with year old equipment and could only score four points. The young driver won the 1980 BARC TV Trophy, a non-championship race for Formula 3 cars. In the British championship he scored five podium finishes and secured the fifth place in the standings. In early 1981 the New Zealander returned to his home country. He raced a part-time schedule in the Formula Pacific series. His best result came at Manfield Autocourse, here he finished third out of ten drivers. After obtaining his FIA Super Licence the Kiwi tried his racing luck in Formula One. He was first approached by Fittipaldi Automotive to replace the retiring Emerson Fittipaldi. But after the Brazilian cruzeiro was devaluated he needed to bring a sponsor which he did not have. Before the 1981 Belgian Grand Prix Wilson got into contact with Ken Tyrrell. But as Michele Alboreto offered more sponsor money he got the seat for the remainder of the season.

Famous quotes by Rob Wilson:

"We have interpreted the information from the evidence available. But because it is self-reported, it tends to be on the optimistic side. We're not saying don't fly to these countries [on the red list]. What we want to do is give businesses and individuals all the necessary information to make decisions for themselves. We don't think governments are giving them enough detailed information."
"We think we're doing this the right way, handling it in an appropriate manner. We've fully and openly disclosed the impact of each of our write-downs. We break that out in our earnings statements and filings. We've had many write-downs in the last six years, and we've handled them the same way."
"There's always a danger that you take it lightly but I've got a lot of experienced players and I don't expect that."
"To me, a book like that has tremendous historical value. Notre Dame's media guide should be a whole lot larger than Southern Mississippi's."
"This is definitely an inconvenience. The parents are being held hostage because they are making it inconvenient for us until they get the tax issue they want."
"How are people supposed to keep jobs and make a living and do this too? I'm already late to work and I can't give up my job."
"It's a good thing for kids to be able to learn about athletics in this way. We thought this was a great way to get the word out and let kids know that this is out there."
"We're still working out the details. I think Wallingford is in the mix."
"Talking to contractors, they seem to have a lot of the work in the pipeline."
"Obviously it's not good. We're unhappy about it but we can't do anything about it."
