As discussed throughout this issue the 2.5-liter Tasman Series was an annual event consisting usually of eight races run in New Zealand and Australia, between 1964 and 1969. The series attracted the cream of international talent including such greats as Jim Clark, Jackie Stewart and Graham Hill, as well as many others. Australian legend Jack Brabham was a regular competitor as were the renowned Kiwi trio Denny Hulme, Bruce McLaren and Chris Amon. Until the 3-liter Formula One was introduced in 1966, the Tasman Series was one of the fastest road racing competitions in the world.
