Regularity - Regularity at this event is designed to allow new racers the opportunity to learn the track and race lines without the pressure of racing. Regularity class entrants must wear orange vests and are not eligible for Championship points. After going out in their nominated practice/qualifying class they will be placed at the back of the grid, in a suitable time group.

Note: Some race groups or classes may be combined depending on entry numbers.

Programme of events

EVENT INFORMATION: This meeting will be on the National Track

The Club will be subsidising the entry fee for this event this time. To cover the increased/new costs entries should now be in the $550 region for a 2 day meeting at Taupo.

We will still offer camping on site for Friday and Saturday nights only. All campers must pre-register and pay. Trailers may be left on site but all other vehicles remaining on site overnight must be registered for camping. Campers pay $50 per vehicle per night to stay unpowered ($50 powered site surcharge). Over night, track supplied, security is now mandatory and is costing the club $1700 + GST so hopefully enough people make use of this to justify the cost . The track has allowed NZCMRR an exception from their normal registration form terms – sleeping in a motorhome, van or caravan is allowable but no tents; self-contained vehicles are preferred. The gates will be locked from 6pm to 7am. Use the following link to book your camping with the circuit and to make payment NZCMRR Camping Registration Form
