Gold Star Race Champions - Single Seaters

From 1949 until 1955-56 there were annual road races held in New Zealand which stood in as official championship events.  But, in the 1956-57 season the Association of New Zealand Car Clubs instituted a Gold Star Driver’s Award for Race (Single Seater class), Hillclimbs and Trials.  Racing  has evolved over the years in New Zealand into two distinct categories, Single Seater and Saloons.  To truly recognise this at premier level in the 1996-97 season a Gold Star Saloon was introduced as an adjunct to the other Gold Star Single Seater award.
