A momentous day for New Zealand motorsport. 

The Sir Colin Giltrap Raceway, a world-class karting facility in Auckland, is officially opening. 

The track builds on the country’s heritage and pathway to the world stage. 

It will be opened by Indycar champion Scott Dixon, who told Heather du Plessis-Allan it’s going to be huge, especially for the young talent in this country. 

He says that we pack a big punch for such a small country, so it’s really great to see that everyone’s pulled this off.
