My first race meeting was the 1955 NZIGP where Prince Bira won the race in the Maserati 250F. We used to go up by bus from Hamilton and always viewed for College corner (first corner after the start) It was a great viewing site and we had plenty to see. Unfortunately I never had a camera then so no photos to look back at.

For all info on early motorsport try this website - it is a mine of information that I am always referring to
