I wonder what the reason was for the pay cut. Total prize money in 1960 was 2560 pounds. In 1962 it was 1570 pounds.
Can you imagine telling the teams & drivers today. " Sorry lads your winnings will be half of what it was 2 years ago !"
There must have been some other attraction for the international teams to come all the way out to NZ and Australia.
(any input is appreciated for the question of the day.." Why the pay cut ?"
Perhaps they were saving for the move to Pukekohe.
