They used the 3.64km International Circuit - as it was then. The current International Circuit is a bit shorter and bypasses the Club Circuit hairpin. That first meeting had a few delays and finished with an unintended night race for the Pre-65s.

The V8 meeting was 18-19 March, but I was also there for a National Champs meeting on 8 Jan and I had a walk around the new circuit which at that time was still gravel in places.
