The Final Classic Festival at Pukekohe

THE FINAL at PUKEKOHE - 43rd NZCMRR CLASSIC FESTIVAL – FEBRUARY 4-6 2023

For those of you not in the know the horse fraternity, that run the overall Pukekohe Raceway, announced in September of 2022 that all motorsport events would cease from the beginning of April 2023 and the circuit will be demolished. So if you have ever considered attending this iconic event, which has run at Pukekohe since 1980, then February will be your final opportunity.

Friday will be a track day for the racers to fine-tune their skills for the rest of the weekend.

Saturday and Sunday see racers compete for points and trophies, each race event is from 4-6 laps for the Classics (bikes from 1927-1976) and 6-9 laps for the Post Classic (1977-1995).

At this final Pukekohe are extremely privileged to host 3 iconic Britten V1000 bikes, to be demonstrated each lunch time by Britten race riders Steve Briggs, Andrew Stroud and Chuck Honeycutt (from USA) along with 4 Rodger Freeth McIntosh Suzuki motorcycles and on display is Kenny Smith’s F5000 Lola car.

On the Sunday at lunchtime not only will the display bikes be out but also Kenny Smith’s car and a Spitfire will fly over. On the Monday we will be having Road bike Parades at the conclusion of the race events.
