Tasman Motorsports is a former racing team owned by Steve Horne that competed in the Indy Lights series and, most notably, the CART series from 1995 to 1998. Tasman was one of the first teams to successfully field a Honda powered entry. Honda had entered CART the prior year with Rahal-Hogan Racing and had very little success. In the team's first and only Indianapolis 500 in 1995, Tasman driver Scott Goodyear led the race with 10 laps to go, but was subsequently black-flagged for passing the pace car while it was still on the track at the end of a caution period and relegated to 14th place. André Ribeiro captured the team's first win and Honda's first in CART later that season at the New Hampshire International Speedway. Tasman also prepared the cars for Comptech Racing's #49 car for Parker Johnstone in 1995. The following season, Ribeiro and teammate Adrian Fernández each won a pair of races and finished 11th and 12th in points respectively. However, in 1997, the team's Lola chassis were clearly off the pace and the team was forced to switch to Reynards mid-way through the season. The team pared back to a single car in 1998 and hired rookie Tony Kanaan to drive, who captured the Indy Lights championship for Tasman the previous season. Kanaan finished 9th in points with a best finish of 3rd, but the team lost its LCI International sponsorship and 1998 would be its last season. The Indy Lights was an open-wheeled racing series that acted as a developmental circuit for CART from 1986 to 2001. ...
