Autocross Challenge


Harbour Capital Car Club is pleased to announce a new Sealed Autocross series, to run at the Slipway venue in Brooklyn. This is a great way for beginners to join the Wellington Motorsport community, and for the old hands to hone their skills.

There are four rounds scheduled
July 12th [past]
August 30th
October 4th
November 15th

Points are decided by your fastest timed run on the day. No complicated classes, first past the post takes home 25 points, and the points decrease by one point per position.

You can drop your worst round (in case you have to get to a wedding or funeral on the same day as one of our rounds!), so the best three results from the four rounds decide our overall winner.

$30 per round, and you can enter as few or as many rounds as you choose.

First prize for the series is $100 in BP vouchers; additionally Photoworks start page will chose a worthy contender for Most Improved, and a “Thanks Mate” award winner from our helpers.

Any MotorSport compliant vehicle can enter, so if you’ve got anything from a Daihatsu Charade, Toyota Supra, Porsche 911, or a Fiat Uno, we will be happy to see you there.

Gather at the Brooklyn Wind Turbine car park (off Ashton Fitchett Drive) at 9am for paperwork. Please note, you can *exit* the venue at any stage, but to enter you will have to go in with the convoy in the morning, or get let in later. This is due to a funky automatic electronic gate thing that has an exit sensor.

Wow looks and sounds great!

Good chance to get in some extra practise before MM09 Welly guys/gals!

It is awesome and a perfect place to start if you've not done anything like this before, nor known how to get started in clubsport events.

I've got a hand in running it, so figured i should plug it here and try get some local members and newbies to show! :P

The best thing you can EVER do to learn about driving!

It starts here and goes all the way up to rallying and racing, and you cannot believe how much fun it is and how much you really learn!

Can't recommend it enough, after 35years of motorsport I just wish I'd started earlier!

might be keen depending on a few things to come for viewing only.

is there a cost for viewing and parking of vehicle?

no charge.

But you should enter, or at least get there at a reasonable time and i'll put you to work doing timing or marshalling. can never have too many helpers.

oh yearp ill leave a message closer to the time. i have sundays usually off so should be able to help.

This weekend folks! Who's coming?

am still planning on coming. undecided if entering as i gotta sus a helmet and am trying to put money aside for other stuff.

tomorrow!

come play tomorrow! 9am!

what a mint turnout! pity about the weather halfway through.

good too meet you too jason!

Good to meet you too Andrew.

yea was a big turnout, (bigger than what i was expecting anyway)

Now that I have had a look it wasnt so scary and got it sussed out hopefully for next time.

This is a great facility for use. Shame about the weather on the day (its pretty open up there so everyone shouldl keep that in mind for the MM09).


A few subie members put their hands up to help fill our empty spots for our meet so have to get in touch with them.
