South Island Region - Fun Run
2023-06-07 10:00 - 17:00
There was a lot of support at the planning meeting for a regular, informal catch up, mid week. In view of that we plan to hold a run on the FIRST WEDNESDAY of the month, meeting up at 10:00 for a prompt 10:30 start, taking a short drive to a pie shop/cafe for a brunch coffee/pie/cake. Not healthy maybe, but fun. Afterwards you make your way home in the early afternoon. Just turn up, any car, (Ferraris preferred of course) and we’ll give out details on the day.
The inaugural run will be on the Wednesday 7th June, meeting at 10:00 at The Yaldhust Pub. See you there!

South Island Region - F1 Viewing Evening
2023-05-22 19:00 - 21:00
Another popular suggestion was for post F1 race viewing evenings. Andrew has a venue that can seat eight in comfort and room for more on beanbags on the floor.
The first of these will be on Monday 22 May 7pm to watch the Italian Grand Prix 🇮🇹. Contact Andrew direct (027 5765576) for directions to his place in West Eyrton, Rangiora.
There are 20 more F1 Grand Prix this year so if anyone else would like to host a viewing evening, please get in touch.
Hopefully the Scuderia Ferrari will give us something to cheer about!

Belgian GP Spa - Round 10
2026-07-17 - 2026-07-19
Circuit de Spa-Francorchamps, Spa-Francorchamps
Spa-Francorchamps is a true classic Formula 1 circuit. There was a time when it was 14 kilometres in length and, even today, it is the longest track on the calendar, at 7.004 kilometres. One key section is the Bus Stop, formerly a double chicane and now a single turn. It’s very easy to overshoot and for safety reasons, it’s not possible to cut the corner. Rejoining the track therefore costs precious time. It nearly always rains in Spa, either in practice or during the race. It’s a track that sorts the boys from the men and the majority of drivers love it. To appreciate the difficulty of the challenge it presents, you only have to look at the winners’ roll of honour. Among the track’s most famous sections are the uphill esses at Eau Rouge and the following Raidillon, as well as Les Combes, Malmedy, Stavelot and Blanchimont. Ferrari has won 16 times in Belgium, 12 of them at Spa: the first victor was Alberto Ascari in 1952 and the last to date courtesy of Kimi Raikkonen in 2009.

Australian GP Melbourne - Albert Park
2022-04-08 - 2022-04-10
Albert Park, Melbourne
Home to the Australian GP since 1996, the circuit uses roads running through Albert Park. 5.303 km in length, the track evolves bit by bit, as it rubbers in. It is particularly demanding on the brakes, with heavy braking areas followed by continual accelerations. Fuel consumption also has to be watched closely here. Narrow run off areas mean the barriers are close to the track, inevitably leading to regular appearances from Safety Car. Scuderia Ferrari has seven Australian wins to its name, the first dating back to 1987, when Gerhard Berger led home team-mate Michele Alboreto in Adelaide. Eddie Irvine won in 1999, followed by four wins for Michael Schumacher. In 2007, Kimi Raikkonen won his maiden outing for Ferrari, an achievement matched only by Juan Manuel Fangio, Mario Andretti and Nigel Mansell.

Sakhir GP Bahrain
2022-03-18 - 2022-03-20
The 2004 Grand Prix of Bahrain marked the first ever round of the FIA Formula One World Championship to be held in the Middle East and the official culmination of a multi-million dollar project started back in September 2002 when the Kingdom of Bahrain signed a long-term deal to host the event.

Event Planning Session Tuesday 1st December 2020
2020-12-01 18:30 - 21:00
Thanks to lockdown, then the health curveball that hit me a few weeks later, the reconvening of July’s event planning session was delayed – and we all know that the organisation and running of Club events is a team effort!
We have an excellent calendar lined up for the rest of the year however what we also know is how quickly time flies once silly season is upon us – so starting Tuesday 1st December we’ll have regular monthly get togethers for those of you who are keen to contribute ideas and assistance with planning events to compliment our staple fun runs and annual happenings.
Email me to let me know if you can come along, we’ll be meeting in Newmarket at 6.30pm.
Cheers Lani

Russian GP Sochi
2020-09-25 - 2020-09-27
Sochi Autodrom, Sochi
It made its debut on the calendar in 2014 and the race was not exactly a thriller. The 5.848 kilometre long circuit was built around the Sochi Olympic Park, featuring some of the sports venues for the 2014 Winter Olympics. The start line is near the railway station and then the circuit wends its way along a picturesque route past the Medals Plaza, home to the five ringed prize giving ceremonies. The final part is rather slow, with various right angle corners, which require pretty high downforce levels. This circuit, like many of the new generation, puts traction at a premium, highlighting the difficulties of those who don’t have it.

Vietnamese GP Hanol Street Circuit
2020-07-24 08:00 - 2020-07-26 17:00
The Hanoi Street Circuit is a motor racing venue located in the district of Hanoi, the capital of Vietnam. It is a street circuit designed to host the Vietnamese Grand Prix, a round of the Formula One World Championship. The circuit is 5.607 km (3.484 mi) long and was designed by circuit architect Hermann Tilke. This is the first time Hanoi Street Circuit run the Formula 1.
The circuit is located next to the Mỹ Đình National Stadium and consists of a temporary street section and a purpose-built layout that will be open to the public once completed. It also features one of the longest straights on the calendar at 1.5 km (0.9 mi) in length. The purpose-built section draws inspiration from several existing circuits including the Circuit de Monaco, Suzuka Circuit, Sepang International Circuit and the Nürburgring “GP-Strecke”. This philosophy of adapting corners from other circuits had previously been used in designing the layout of the Circuit of the Americas.

The original layout consisted of twenty-two corners, but this was revised in December 2019 to include an additional corner in the final sector. The extra corner was added to improve safety.
