In preparation for the Racetech Port Road Street Sprint and Clubsport Triathlon, Hutt Valley Motorsport Club members will bring their cars to Te Papa for a pre-event safety inspection and documentation session. Come and find out more about the competition that will be held on the weekend.
There are three parts to the competition:
1. A street sprint on a 2km time trial circuit that caters for a wide range of vehicles from early Hillman Imps to the latest Mitsibushi Evos.
2. A motorkhana on a grass paddock near Silverstream, Upper Hutt. A motorkhana is a cheap and enjoyable form of motorsport where you can use any vehicle. It is primarily a test of driver skill.
3. Autocross, when competitors compete individually at speed against the clock
on a circuit laid out (using hay bales or plastic cones) on a large grass, tarseal, or gravel area.
Each of the events is its own competition, but the overall weekend forms a ClubSport Triathlon with a winner being decided from the results of all three parts combined. It’s a busy weekend but very enjoyable for everyone involved!
