It’s regrettable to advise that NZIGP Events have had to make the difficult decision to cancel their season-opening event: NZIGP Icebreaker (our first round).
After careful consideration of all alternatives (including reshaping the format and condensing the event into a one-day meeting) the combination of rising costs, class withdrawals, and less interest from categories for an earlier season start ultimately made the event unviable.
We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause. However, with strong interest from competitors in maintaining a six-round sprint series, the BMW Race Driver Series Committee has been able to secure a suitable replacement.
As a result, the calendar has been updated. With a slightly later season start, the season final will also take place later than originally planned.
OctoberFAST! at Manfeild: Circuit Chris Amon will now serve as Round 1 of the season, and the final (replacement) round has been confirmed for 16–17 May, again at Hampton Downs, as part of the NZIGP Events calendar.
As a consequence, our AGM and Prizegiving date will also need to shift. A revised date will be confirmed and advised in due course.
We appreciate your understanding and look forward to another bumper season of BMW Race Driver Series action.
