VnC Cocktails was a proud sponsor of the Great New Zealander’s Dinner held at NZ Central in Shanghai recently.

The dinner also coincided with the Porsche Asia Carrera Cup round in Shanghai.

Kiwi Craig Baird has finished the first event on the 2010 Porsche Carrera Cup Asia third overall after two races supporting the Chinese Grand Prix at Shanghai at the weekend.

Driving a brand-new 2010 specification Porsche GT3 type 997, and supported by VnC Cocktails, Baird faced tough opposition from 22 other teams also contesting the series.

The first time the 39-year-old Queensland-based Kiwi has raced the 5.451 kilometre circuit in China, crucial setup changes did not work as calculated. Instead Baird could do little more than chase the time difference having qualified to start the first race from fourth position.

Fourth in the first race and third in the second, the overall points currently award Baird third place in the title standings of the eleven round series.

 Returning home in the interim, the team travel back to China in May for the second event on the calendar: the Beijing Goldenport circuit, 21-23 May.
