So if we still have/had a 2015 NZIGP would or did the winner of that race this year receive ~$70,000.00?

Obviously not Jac Mac, but the point I was making about `that era' was the calibre of the overseas guys competing in the NZIGP ..... most of todays F1 show ponies would want 70k just to front up, let alone race .....

Going thru that list I don't see many if any drivers who could be considered 'show ponies'. Perhaps that's the core of what is missing from most avenues of motorsport today, not many driver /builders anymore and any 'kiwi' diy efforts are virtually killed off by rules for the sake of rules.
