Race Car Test Day
Race Car Test Days are an opportunity for drivers to test their race cars on the International Circuit.
Cars will be grouped by speed as follows:
- Slow 1.50+
- Medium 1.41 – 1.50
- Fast under 1.41
- Open Wheelers/Sportscars
- Karts (not on all Race Car Test Days)
Please note that the groups and session times may vary depending on the speed/number of cars on the day.
All sessions are 15 minutes long, giving each driver at least five 15 minute sessions on track throughout the day.
You will need to fill out an Indemnity form before you can go on track. You can do this prior to arrival by clicking on the link in your confirmation email.
Please note:
- Any additional drivers are $50 each and will need all the same safety gear as the driver. Additional driver means same car, same speed group.
- Taupo International Motorsport Park reserves the right to refuse or revoke any entrant at any time.
- Book online to secure your spot. We do not accept walk-ins on the day.
For any inquiries, please contact track@taupomp.co.nz or you can call the office on 07 376 5033.
