1966 Tasman racing.
This was the first time in almost 10 years that Bruce McLaren did not participate in the NZ season as he was occupied with getting his own team established back in England.
This is a Youtube clip of a mix of races in Australia during the 1966 Tasman series.
Note how the public could get close to the drivers etc.
(I went to the 1999 Canadian F1 race in Montreal and arranged to meet up with Patrick Head etc, only to find out that you could not get within a mile of the pit area !.)
We certainly had it good back in the sixties with the quality of drivers and great atmosphere etc. Little did we realize that it was not to last for much longer.
