The Southland Sports Car Club’s spectacular annual classic motor race meeting will sport a new name in 2024 when the event takes place at Teretonga Park from 16-18 February with a new sponsor on board.

The Ascot Park Hotel Classic SpeedFest 2024 will feature another sensational line up of classic racing machinery with many rare and exotic race cars across a variety of classes including an international contingent from the UK as well as competitors from every corner of New Zealand.

Angee Shand, Marketing & Innovation Executive for the ILT says, “we are thrilled that Ascot Park Hotel will be a part of the driving force behind the upcoming Classic SpeedFest. Ascot has a proud history of welcoming car enthusiasts and car-related groups to the hotel, so we see this as a natural alignment and extension of our relationship with Teretonga Park, another organisation with a strong community focus. We’re looking forward to a fantastic event in February 2024.”

Southland Sports Car Club Race Committee Chairman, Wayne Shieffelbein says, “we are grateful to the Ascot Park Hotel for their support of one of our most prestigious events. Support such as this allows the Southland Sports Car Club and other groups in the city to bring high quality events to the south. In 2024 the Ascot Park Hotel Classic SpeedFest sees the return of overseas competitors and we know many of our competitors and motorsport fans choose to stay at the Ascot Park Hotel when they come to Teretonga Park.”
