The Lakeside Classic is being replaced by Historic Lakeside in 2016.
A full historic meeting with all historic classes. Should be a great meeting.
Actually its almost always the second weekend in March, and always a week before the F1 Grand Prix.
Well worth the visit. Its better than the F1 GP these days in my humble opinion.
Book early for...
Nearly. U.S. visitor Travis Engen in his Lotus 23 was able to take avoiding action and duck inside the Corvette.

Being a middle aged spectator, I can still work my way up to being an old racer. God knows, the amount of money I've spent attending motor racing events on both sides of the ditch, even as a...
I'm not sure, but the on-track commentators said that all 3 cars reside in Christchurch.
And a few tasty powerplants.

God's of the oval ball? I didn't even realise they played Australian Rules Football in NZ.:)
I'll be there for the event, and will post some photo's after the event.
Great twilight photo of Baskerville by the way.
I hope my comments on catch fencing don't sound too negative. Its just a sign of the times that they exist and only requires one stray wheel ending up in the crowd to prove its worth.
In Australia...
Any time you have the pit/paddock area located on the inside of the track, you are going to have problems seeing all the track from any one position. Thats OK for me, as I'm prepared to walk around...
This has been asked on this post before, but is there an entry list for the whole event available.
In Australia most organizers post an entry list and event schedule in the week leading up to the...
You're right Jac Mac, Warbirds over Wanaka is on the same weekend. I was going to spend one day at the airshow and one day at Highlands for the historic cars.
I cant go too wrong, but it would be...
Hi everybody.
I was just looking at the Highlands Motorsport Park, Cromwell website and on the events page they list an historic Motor racing event for Easter 2014.
They list it as NZ's premier...
On the Channel 9 midday news today reports that the car has been found and intact.
I suspect the scumbags that stole the trailer didn't expect to see that car inside the trailer.
With regards the the Aussie V8 Supercars TV coverage, its been pretty obvious over the years that V8 Supercars will side with whoever pays the most money, and you are just expected to go along with...
Just looked at Friday's times on mylaps.
It's a pity there aren't more Can-Am cars running. The organisers had hoped for around 20 cars, but 9 practiced and qualified.
I suppose time and money...
Does anyone know if an entry list has been released yet?
Quite often event organisers release an event schedule and entry list in the week leading up to the event.
I'm heading across the ditch from Sydney for the second weekend, and hanging around Auckland for the NZ Air Show on the Monday 28th at North Shore Airfield.
It should be a good long weekend.
The Monterosso's Escorts,
Firstly the Mk1, at an AGP (domestic) support event at Calder Park, and then the Mk2 RS6000 at an Aust. Sports sedan C'ship event at Eastern Creek.
...
There was one section where there was a land slip, resulting in some armco fencing and support posts dangling in the air, which would require money to fix up.
I've been told there are groups who...
These photo's were taken in December 1997, showing you how nature is taking over the track. I was going to head up that way this weekend to have another look, but wet (typical?) weather means it will...
