Once upon a time, drivers headed south in the early part of the year to race F1 cars (powered by 2.5 litre engines) under the warm Australian and New-Zealand sun, and compete in the Tasman series.

Alas, the great Scot would lose his life a few months later, in April, during an obscur F2 race at Hockenheim.
