A
MOTORKHANA
is
a
cheap
and
enjoyable
form
of
motorsport
and
at
the
same
time
is
one
of
the
most
competitive.
It
is
an
event
in
which
you
can
use
almost
any
vehicle
(standard
road
cars
can
be
very
competitive)
and
is
primarily
a
test
of
driver
skills.
Cars
compete
against
the
clock,
one
at
a
time,
with
drivers
negotiating
a
set
course
which
is
defined
by
(non-damaging)
markers
such
as
plastic
cones.
The
course
must
be
negotiated
in
the
correct
sequence,
with
penalties
applied
for
going
the
wrong
way
or
hitting markers etc.
Part of the course may have to be negotiated in reverse.
The winner is the person who completes all of the courses in the shortest time.
Events
are
normally
held
on
smooth
grass,
gravel
or
tarseal
venues
such
as
farm
paddocks
or
carparks.
Because
the
venue
is
usually
a
wide
open
space
and
the
speeds
involved
are
low
(more
tests
are
completed
using
1st
and/or
reverse
gear
),
the
risk
of
vehicle damage while competing is low.
Competing In MotorkhanasMinimum Requirements:
You will need a car upto WOF standards, be over 12 years of age.
After
competing
in
two
motorkhanas
and/or
autocross
events,
you
will
be
required
to
become
a
member
of
NCC
or
other
car
club
affliated with Motorsport NZ.
HILLCLIMBS are generally the highest form of motorsport that can be competed in using a normal road car.
They
are
so
named
because
the
finish
line
must
be
at
a
higher
altitude
than
the
start
line
and
the
course
must
be
mostly
uphill.
It
must
be
remembered
that
they
are
considered
high
speed
events,
and
with
higher
speeds
also
comes
a
higher
"incident/accident"
risk.
The
Hillclimb
course
can
be
on
a
private
or
public
road,
with
either
a
gravel
or
tarsealed
surface.
Competitors
compete
in
Hillclimb
individually
against
the
clock
with
the
winner
being
the
person
who
completes
the
course
in
the shortest time.
Because
the
venues
used
vary
so
much,
those
competitors
wishing
to
compete
in
a
standard
car
(without
full
harness
seat
belts and/or roll cage), should check before the event with the organiser to ensure that such a vehicle is appropriate for
the venue.
Competing in Hillclimbs Minimum Requirements:
Need to be a member of NCC or a car club that is affliated with Motorsport NZ (prior to the event), have an upto date competition licence,
standard road licence if touring back on open roads, fire extinguisher fixed in approved position, approved helmet, single layer approved
overalls with cotton or wool under garments or multi- layered approved overalls, covered in leather foot wear with cotton or wool socks as per
Appendix Two Schedule A of the Motorsport Manual.
Car to comply with Appendix Two Schedule A of the Motorsport Manual.
Refer to HILLCLIMBS for More Info.
An
AUTOCROSS
is
the
ideal
environment
in
which
to
learn
or
improve
car
control
skills
while
at
the
same
time
having
a
lot
of
fun.
It
is
an
event
that
favours
driver
skill
over
outright
horsepower,
but
at
speeds
higher
than
those
experienced
in
motorkhanas.
The
Autocross
course
is
usually
laid
out
(using
hay
bales,
drums
or
plastic
cones)
on
a
large
grass
or
gravel
area
such
as
a
farm
paddock
or
a
car
park,
although
some
clubs
have
purpose
built
Autocross
circuits.
Competitors
compete
in
Autocross
events
individually
against
the
clock
with
the
winner
being
the
person
who
completes
the
course
in
the
shortest
time. Because the event venue is usually a wide open space, the risk of vehicle damage is low.
Like motorkhanas, it is a cheap event in which to participate and perfectly standard road cars can be very competitive.
Competing In Autocrosses Minimum Requirements:
You will need a car upto WOF standards (this will be scrutineered at the event),
Be over 12 years of age, have an approved helmet, single layer cotton overalls (with cuffs), covered leather foot wear, cotton or wool socks.
After competing in two motorkhana and/or autocross events you will be required to become a member of NCC or other car club affliated with
Motorsport NZ.
