The Historic Racing Club and NZIGP have today made the difficult decision to cancel its New Zealand Motor Cup Centenary Celebration to be held at Muriwai on Friday 2nd December 2022.

The decision comes after having to postpone the original event twice over the past 2 years due to COVID and now the rapidly rising costs of hosting events and the increasingly difficult logistics of being able to run the event mean we were left with little option. This coupled with Motorsport New Zealand having to cancel their 75th Gala Dinner on the day after our event due to similar issues means that a lot of the guests we were expecting will now not be attending.

Ticket holders will be contacted directly and will receive full refunds.

First competed for on 5th March 1921 at Muriwai, The New Zealand Motor Cup was awarded annually in a 50 mile event known as the Australasian Beach Championship.

On 26 November 2021, HRC, MSNZ Historic Race Commission and NZIGP will be holding a brunch to Celebrate 100 years since the first beach races and the awarding of the New Zealand Motor Cup.

There will be a gathering and photographic opportunities of historically significant vehicles on the beach, along with car displays and the New Zealand Motor Cup.
