MOTORSPORT NEW ZEALAND MANUAL

The MotorSport New Zealand Manual serves as the cornerstone of safe and fair motorsport in New Zealand. It outlines the regulations that govern all aspects of motorsport, ensuring consistency, safety, and enjoyment for competitors, officials, and fans alike.

Every regulation in the manual is carefully developed in collaboration with key stakeholders, including the Rules Committee, relevant Advisory Commissions, the MotorSport New Zealand Office, and the Board.
