Battle Recommences At The NZTT

In just two weeks, the NZ Road Race Championships recommence after a short mid-season break, at the popular Hampton Downs circuit in the North Waikato.

Following three rounds in the South Island in January, the best riders in Australasia will wrap up all Championship classes with the final two rounds in March, the first of which will see the annual TT titles decided over the weekend of 16/17. The TT Title has its origins back in the 1930’s, with the event originally contested on Waiheke Island.

All Championship classes are represented - including Superbikes (F1/1000cc), Supersport (F2/600cc), Superlite (F3), Pro-Twin, 250cc Production, and 125cc GP.
Support classes include the ultra-competitive Hyosung Cup 250 class, who have a 1 Hour race on Saturday afternoon.

The event is being promoted and organised by the Auckland Motorcycle Club, who plan on making this a full-on family event.

As well as the outstanding racing, there will be a boulevard of trade stands, and activities for the younger children to indulge. Additional entertainment will come from the American Car & Bike display, and stunt rider Nick Kroeze.

Circuit radio will be operating – on 106.8FM – to complement the public address commentary; and food outlets and fresh coffee will be available from the on-site caterers.

Ticket prices are: - Adult $25, Family $45 (two adults & 2 children).
However Motorcycle, Car and Hot-Rod Club Members will enjoy a significant discount on proof of current Club membership, with Adults at $15 in this instance.
Saturday 16th will see practice, qualifying and races for some of the support classes; while Sunday 17th has a full day of racing, including two races for each of the premier classes, Superbike and Supersport, along with the TT race for each Championship category.
