The perfect long-weekend night out is here — thrills, spills, dirt, noise and non-stop adrenaline for the whole family!

SPRINTCARS, MIDGETS, SUPERSTOCKS, STOCKCARS, MINISTOCKS

There’s nothing quite like getting trackside, feeling the roar, smelling the dirt and watching the fastest cars in the Bay go wheel-to-wheel at Tauranga’s Place for Pace!

Bring your mates. Bring the family. Bring your love of motorsport.
Beach. Vibes. Speedway.
