The awesome extravaganza that is The New Zealand CannonBall Run is done and dusted, sorry you missed out this year. Make sure you register with us for updates on our next big event. 

Here's what you missed out on.....

This year we started at Ardmore Airfield for a few skids and some larrikin fun right on the runway....  We were here in the morning for a few hours why we make the most out of owning a runway. 

We will also be getting everyone (who wants to) to participate in what will be the largest group vehicle burnout ever done in New Zealand...  If only half the pack can do it that's still 150 vehicles doing a burnout at the same time....  EPIC...

We will then be heading off into the depths of New Zealand, the day's events are top secret but ask anyone who's been before..... That’s part of the fun....  The whole event is only around 300k's long but it will take you the whole day to do, don’t plan to be home until late that night.

Finishing up at the Stunning Formosa Resort for a Buffet Feast, drinking, music, dancing and live comedy show from Comic Genius Jeremy Elwood (as seen on 7 Days).... 

We are also in the throes of sorting out some other awesome entertainment for the after party at Formosa as well including a live DJ set from one of NZ's top DJ's.

Auckland Motorsport has been operating a few years now and have managed to take the Motorsport Scene by the horns and come out on top. Our first New Zealand CannonBall Run was one of the biggest street legal events held in the country and bought together every type of car fanatic including Exotic Supercar lovers and Japanese Drifters.

Here at Auckland Motorsport we pride ourselves in thinking outside the box. Our events are always original, unique and have a fair share of surprises. 

New Zealand has a huge motorsport industry, its competitors are some of the best talent in the world, but there is not much out there for your average enthusiast. Sure if your car is race prepped with a roll cage, bucket seats, fire suit and etc you can race on the track but what about the young guys with a limited budget. To them their cars are performance cars. 

We are out to provide track, drift and street legal race orientated events for a safe driving alternative to illegal street racing and making it fun at the same time. There is a lot of controversy at the moment with the whole "Boy Racer Act" and all the fines and penalties that are involved when getting caught with one of these new laws. Our intention is to address the problem at its source, by running legal and cheap motorsport orientated and related events for car enthusiasts. There are a lot of drivers that want to race their cars, so why not direct them to an event that is safe, and legally organised with police approval and participation. Let’s face it there are big kids out there too so our events are not limited to just “Boy Racers”. 

With new and innovative events coming up from us be sure to stay tuned...
