Tasman Cup series shaping up

Ahead of the final New Zealand round at Teretonga Park, Invercargill, on Sunday 26 January 1975, the Stuyvesant series is wide open: Warwick Brown and Graeme Lawrence lead on 15 points each, then Johnnie Walker (10) and Graham McRae (9). Frank Gardner has been testing the Australian Lola T400s of Max Stewart and Kevin Bartlett. Rain at Teretonga could help McRae, who has no rain tyres, though Lawrence is rated the best chance on reliability.
