Taupo round up and what happens next

NIERDC 2017 SERIES SPONSOR

Thank you Taupo

A well run and entertaining event run by our ROC at Taupo, thanks to Tim, Steve and his team . We had all weather conditions, with the exception of fog, that provided lots of team work with tyre changes to keep the team warm but also strategy. When do you bring your car in. At one stage Daniel Gaunt made up 9 seconds when he came in early and changed tires.

Some of you were also interviewed by Lucy from Velocity News who were providing live feed to the world. Excellent coverage internationally, this means that it is very important to ensure your window banners and the two small side stickers are on your car on both Friday and Saturday please. We did have a comment from you main sponsor that there were some missing banners. WE do not want them to be unhappy. With the live feed the number of viewers is growing with some 5000 watching this meeting. Let’s continue to grow this championship series of NZ endurance racing.

We also have Simon Chapman from velocity, looking after news in and around the social media and print material. He may also come up and talk with any one of your for information for publication, share your stories.

Thanks to all our sponsors, with note to

Results, always the everyone wants.
We had the one hour prize giving 20 mins after the start of the three hour race. I will be bringing the trophies along to Hampton Downs for collection.

Three hour prize giving will be at Hampton Downs on the Friday night due to the late arrival of results, make sure you have a representative at the meeting to collect the trophies and maybe collect any one hour trophies.

We would like your opinion on how to give out trophies, so far the prize giving have been poorly attended. Our thinking now is to give them to the winners at park ferme at the end of the race, any other suggestion?

Next Round is Hampton Downs on the 24th June.
More information coming over the next week or two so keep an eye on updates.
Friday Practice: Not part of the cost of entry along with the Friday garage cost.
Friday night function will be in the clubs hospitality room which has been sponsored by Hamilton Asphalts, thank you Lance. There will again be a meal supplied by PaknSave and drinks by your club.
Saturday garages will be allocated by us for the three hour cars using the same formula as Taupo.

Remember that Hampton do not allow any vehicles behind the pits. None!!
