The Tasman Golden Era

Of all the circuits used in the Tasman Series, Warwick Farm was always considered the center of it all, with the organization of Geoff Sykes who was brought from the UK to advise in the layout of the circuit and head up the Australian Automobile Racing Club, who would run the meetings at the Aintree-type horse-racing venue. It was during their time with the AARC that many of the international stars were introduced to flying which was part of the activities of the club and many, like Jim Clark, went on to obtain their pilot licenses.
