1961 Warwick Farm International 100
I am trying to find the grid and results info for the Australian and New Zealand races in early 1961, especially the race at Warwick Farm. I am especially interested in finding out who drove in which events for BRM down under. I also have read that tey BRM's dropped out of some events (Warwick Farm?) with "boiled fuel" because of the heat? Thanks for any help.
