A Classic Before It Even Starts

The largest classic and historic car race meeting ever held in New Zealand will be happening in January 2010 over two weekends.  Over 400 cars will be at Hampton Downs Motorsport Park and the following weekend at Pukekohe Park Raceway, to compete in the NZ Festival of Motor Racing. 

It is expected that classic and historic racing cars, sports cars and saloon cars from New Zealand, Australia, United States of America, UK, Netherlands, Denmark, Belgium, and Germany will be embarking on New Zealand to participate.

The Festival will embrace the romantic time capsule that covered the 1940s through to the swinging 1960s.  Visitors are encouraged to wear appropriate period clothing to get into the theme for the weekend.   

Take your family for a trip back to the 1950s and relive the romance of the era.

The inaugural NZ Festival of Motor Racing will celebrate Bruce McLaren and feature a number of the McLaren and Cooper cars that the late Bruce McLaren owned, drove and designed.
