I know this seems a long way off for some, but I gather that there are several local competitors likely to be competing in 2016, so I decided that I would make a real effort to attend - and my dear wife is happy enough for me to go! (I have only ever been in the past for the Fridays, with my long suffering wife or my non-motorsport interested youngest brother.)

It is never too early to start planning. It is always a tremendous event and even though the weather is often dodgy, it is still a bucket list item for those who have never been before.

I'm not exactly putting up my hand to be a tour organiser, but it would be great to have some Kiwi supporters there.
