Hey mcrane...I just came back from a year at Uni down in NZ...last season every GP was shown live on TVNZ Channel one, it's not cable or anything so if you have access to a TV you should be able to get the race. No qualifying though, unless they just recently added it for this year. Just get the time conversion right and you'll have no probs watching the race live, their quite big on F1 down there.
Cheers buddy and have a great time in NZ! It's an awesome place!
