Each year Teretonga Park offers Southlanders plenty – international events, top class motor racing and some very special race cars and trucks. Every season promises much and generally every season delivers’ on that promise and even though it has been said in the past the 2019/2020 season could be one of the very, very best.

The return of the international stars of the Toyota Racing Series, the first appearance of the new category taking the world by storm – TCR, another great array of machinery at the annual Classic SpeedFest meeting in February, Super Trucks, Mainland Muscle Cars, the exotic machinery of the South Island Endurance Series and so much more mean the southernmost FIA approved motor race circuit in the world is set to serve up an action packed season of motorsport.
