Motorsport

LADIES! Have you ever thought "wow that is really awesome I would love to give that a go or be involved!" after watching cars zoom around a racetrack or even watching motorsport on tv?  We all know women in motorsport are few and far between, but they are there and we endeavour to let NZ women know about them and encourage them to get involved too!

What is motorsport?
Motorsport is a sport in which participants race a motor vehicle usually around a track or course of some sorts.

What types of motorsport are there?
There are a lot of different sports in the motorsport arena such as clubsport (motorkhana, autocross, hillclimbs), circuit racing, drifting, road rally (Targa), Rally (dirt/snow), dirt track (speedway), you name it!

How to get involved in motorsport?
There are many different ways to get involved with motorsport, one way is to get involved with your local car club, or if you like a particular motorsport go along to their next eventand ask how you can volunteer or how to get yourself involved in the sport!  Also keep an eye out for beginner race track days that have skilled professionals teaching you how to drive on a race track. Or simply talk to one of our friendly staff or members who you will find on the Discussion Forums.

Volunteer
