New look for motor-racing
(N.Z. Press Association) WELLINGTON. Motor-racing in New Zealand is to be reorganised on a two-tier structure, it was recommended at the recent national executive meeting of Motorsport Association New Zealand (M.A.N.Z.). At the same time, the number of races which will count towards the various national racing championships next season has been substantially reduced. The president of M.A.N.Z., Mr Ron Frost, said in a statement after the meeting that it was felt there were too many championships, and too many rounds in each.
Race promoters would therefore be asked to consider some championships at present contested throughout the country as club series rather than national title series. No more than •10 rounds would be run in those series which remained national championships, Mr Frost said. In some cases this meant a reduction of 40 per cent on the number of rounds staged in the 1975-76 season. “This should result in a considerable saving to competitors, as they will be obliged to race in fewer points-carrying events,” Mr Frost said. “This will be particularly felt in the vital area of fuel conservation.”
