Today we're digging into the history of an iconic Kiwi event, the New Zealand Grand Prix.
It was first held in 1950 at the Ohakea Circuit in Palmerston North, and these days it's the signature event of the Formula Regional Oceania Championship.
Many iconic drivers have taken part in the NZ Grand Prix over the years, from international stars like Sir Jackie Stewart to local legends like Bruce McLaren, Chris Amon and Nick Cassidy.
