“The Tasman Series was a motor racing series held from 1964 to 1975, in Australia and New Zealand, and named after the Tasman Sea between the two countries. The Tasman Series races were held in January through to late February or early March of each year, during the Formula One off season, taking advantage of winter in the Northern hemisphere to attract many top drivers to summer in the south”.- Wikipedia; http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tasman_Series; retrieved 27/03/2009.
