A new initiative has been launched to create a Motorsport Carnival that will truly be “more than motorsport”

Kicking off at Taupo during Labour weekend, the IRC Summer Tour will feature what used to be second tier motor racing with live action both on and off track.

The planning has been done, the people are in place, the tracks are booked and the entertainment will extend beyond circuit action from 9 very different but well supported race categories.

In announcing the IRC Summer Tour, Convenor of Operations John Clunie states that the whole intention is to make motor racing a “must see” spectator sport while being an event of significance for competitors. There is literally millions of dollars of race machinery competing over Summer each year says Clunie. It is from the Independent race classes that stars of tomorrow suddenly emerge. It is the best kept secret in sport, but why? Our opinion is because merely a day at the races is for the die hard fan or supporter, we will have evolving attractions that will make a Carnival of our Tour, an occasion that all ages and family groups can enjoy.

During the count down to October high impact media will reveal good reasons to come along and have a great day out. Keep you eye on club web sites, shop windows and an ear on the radio. You simply won’t want to miss the experience.

Round One will be our Summer Blast Off meeting at the Taupo Motorsport Park.
