You don't need a Clerk of Course, you need a sense of humour.

Month long road event without closed stages ??? Sounds like a Cannonball Run.
You don't need a Clerk of Course, you need cars faster than anything the cops have, and a good lawyer :)

The entry list in Post #42 shows Ray Wilkinson in a Lotus 69. There's also a good photo of the car in Post #13.

I'm pretty sure the Lotus 69 Formula Ford that Martin Lucas now races came from Ray....

There can't be too many silver Marcos' with red wheels in NZ?

Well my garage is full of modern cars compared to what's been posted so far.

The toy on the right is a '65 Mustang, 289 V8, C4 auto, all original spec. 2 barrel carb, drum brakes all round and...

The FIA homolgation for the XJS expired at the end of '86 so you could also argue that it's last official 'Group A' race was Fuji, Nov '86.

The info board next to this M3 implied it was the original Cecotto/Brancatelli car from the 1987 WTCC.
I think Mark Petch might have bought it after the Wellington round,...

Entered by 'Ecurie du Puy' which was a fancy name for a team owned by American John du Puy.

I saw the name Bruce Jenner on the list and wondered if it was THE Bruce Jenner, and according to Google it is.
He (as she was then) drove the 7-Eleven Roush Mustang. Wow, you learn something new...

The event programme doesn't list the Porsche as entered in the main race but in the preliminary race, the Golden 100, Porsche No.80 was entered by Rentokil Pest Control Ltd for Tim Bailey to drive.
