A stylish title sequence sets the tone for this NFU short on New Zealand motor racing in the early 60s. Shot during the sports' golden age it begins with amateurs competing in Dunedin's 'round the town' race (won by future Formula One champ Denis Hulme), then shifts north to Auckland for the New Zealand International Grand Prix. 60'000 spectators watch world champion Jack Brabham and local hero Bruce McLaren battle for the title. Includes classic summer shots of the world's top drivers relaxing on the beach, and Arnold Glass teaches McLaren to waterski.

YES GREAT FILM CLIPS AND VERY CLEAR, THANKS BRING ON MORE WHAT ABOUT ALL THE FILMS CASTROL MUST HAVE. THAT CANTY CAR CLUB USE TO SHOW
That was fantastic. Bring on more!
I remember the days. I was there, but not at the event.
triffic stuff... I have ordered a copy straight away.
This is awesome footage for its age. Would dearly love to see more.
Working at Manfeild its interesting to see the level of safety barriers, or should I say lack of, compared to what is requried nowadays. I'm not sure the film commented on where in Auckland but presume this was Ardmore?

Fun fun! Very intriguing but why was it telecined at 25fps with pulldown, then deinterlaced? Every second it jumps... watch the pans. This is the web, 24fps is OK!
