RACE EXPERIENCE - CHRISTCHURCH
Location
NZV8 Race Experience principally utilises
Manfeild Park Raceway in the Manawatu and Pukekohe Park in Auckland as the
primary venues for our Holden V8 Race Drive Experience...
However, subject to availability and
sufficient attendee numbers, we do transport one or both of our 400kw Holden V8 race vehicles down to the South Island and then utilise the
Powerbuilt Raceway, Ruapuna which is situated 13km south-west of Christchurch on Hasketts Road between the Main South and Main West Highways.
Powerbuilt Raceway is the centre of this
multi motorsports facility which incorporates the circuit, drag strip and
speedway all in close proximity to each other. This is easily the South Island's premier
driving facility.
Facilities
NZV8 Race Experience utilises the 2nd floor
Powerbuilt Lounge corporate hospitality area, with its adjoining exterior
balcony boasting extensive views of the entire circuit as its operational base.
There is only limited food options available
5 minutes drive from the venue at Templeton.
On-site catering is available
by arrangement for corporate or special events subject to numbers.
Accommodation
There is a numerous selection of hotels and motels
in Christchurch and districts.
Whenever the NZV8 Race Experience Team are in Christchurch, they prefer to
stay at the Clyde on Riccarton and regularly choose to dine at
Sophies Café.
Nearest Major Airport
Christchurch International Airport.
Rental Vehicle
Locations
AVIS & Thrifty Car Rentals are available from both Christchurch City and the Airport.
Frequency of Visits
We conduct driver training in the South Island generally
2-3 times a year subject to demand.
We would usually do 2-3 consecutive
courses per visit.
NZV8 Race Experience and our V8 Hot Laps are conducted at Ruapuna, subject to minimum attendance
numbers making it financially viable to warrant the extra cost of transporting one
or both of our 400kw Holden V8 race cars down throughout the entire South
Island.
We generally also undertake our V8 Race Experience and Holden V8 Hot Laps at
Teretonga in Invercargill whilst we are down in the South Island
