The New Zealand Grand Prix is an annual motor racing event held in New Zealand since 1950. Currently it is part of the Toyota Racing Series which races using Formula 3 specifications. It is one of only two national Grand Prix events that are not part of the Formula One Calendar, the other being the Macau Grand Prix.^[1] Once an important race on the international calendar, with the current domination of Formula One the race has become rather less prestigious. Manfeild will again host the event in 2009 and 2010.
