Thank You stefan_. Very nice pictures. Here some results and race reports.

It's nice to see the wide variety and the mixing of cars and engines in the Tasman Series.

If you look at it carefully, you will notice that the Tasman was offering actually more than the new born F-1 3000 ccm was.

Being a Tasmanian myself (and living just 15kms from the site of the old Longford circuit) , I really really wish this series still happened.
