    Photos: The Ian Peak Collection - Part 2

    Carrying on from where we left off a couple of weeks ago with the Ian Peak Collection, Part 1, this is Part 2. Boy, these photos really get me excited, they're so full of colour, and so beautifully demonstrate this amazing period in history.

    Again, these photos centre around Teretonga, the worlds most southern race track at the bottom of New Zealands South Island. The years shown here are 1967, 1969, and, if I have some space left at the end, a bit of a random assortment. The photos centre around the Teretonga round of the Tasman Series, and in particular, the international stars. But there is plenty here of interest for everyone.

    I hope you all enjoy these as much as I have. Thanks again to Mark Quertier for organising these photos to be shared here.

    This looks to be either the beginning of qualifying, or just prior to the race during the 1967 Tasman Series event. My guess would be this is just prior to the race, because front row starters Jim Clark, Richard Attwood, and Denny Hulme are all pictured here. Clark and Attwood finished first and second.

    Moving on now to the 1969 Tasman Series race, and what a contrast this photo is! At the foreground are the best drivers attacking in the latest and most high tech race cars in the world. And in the background is this wonderful shanty town of make-shift grandstands assembled by the local enthusiasts.

    Here Graham Hill leads eventual race winner Piers Courage and team mates Chris Amon and Derek Bell.

    Hopefully I've got this right, someone will correct me if not. Roly Levis at the front, from Hill, Graeme Lawrence, and Bert Hawthorne?

    OK, this appears to be Graham McRae in his self-built McRea Twin-cam leading here. In behind I'm guessing is Allan McCully, followed by Hawthorne.

    Mid-field gaggle, with Frank Radisich in the Lotus22/HCM leading Wayne Murdoch, John Nicholson (I think?), Ken Smith, and Barry Keen in the Begg Twin-cam.

    What a work of art! Alec Mildren's amazing 2.5 litre Alfa V8 in the back of his own car, driven by Frank Gardner.

    I think it only had this paint scheme in 1969 Jim.

    I really love this photo. It demonstrates so well the enthusiasm those in the deep south of New Zealand have for their motor racing. Look REALLY closely at the middle of the pic. Among the huge crowd there is a flat deck truck (or trailer), on which is Courage's Brabham, along with the first three drivers home, Courage, Hill, Amon. I suspect the fourth driver could be Roly Levis, as first Kiwi resident home?
