The newest karting facility in New Zealand has been officially opened by some of the country’s most celebrated motorsport figures.
Six-time IndyCar champion Scott Dixon plus former karting stars Mitch Evans and Jonny Reid attended the ceremony at the Auckland based complex. Dixon’s five-year-old son, Kit, turned the circuit’s first official laps.
The circuit is named in honour of the late Sir Colin Giltrap, a name known to every Kiwi motorsport enthusiast. Giltrap’s passion, dedication and commitment to motorsport in New Zealand has helped shape the future of Kiwi talent internationally for decades.
