Tasman Cup Series

In 1964, an International series, known as the Tasman Cup, was introduced for old 2.5 litre formula one cars. In 1976 the series was abolished to make way for the Formula Pacific Series in New Zealand, and the Formula 5000 Series in Australia, due to its lack of appeal as more races were added to the Formula 1 calendar.
