A 7-day, 2,600km charity road trip around the North Island in a $2,000 car, from Orewa to Ōtāhuhu, raising funds for TimeOut Charity. R21.
Teams of two take on a 2,600km road trip around New Zealand's North Island in a car worth $2,000 or less. Dunga Run is a seven-day charity adventure, not a race — it's about teamwork, problem-solving and exploring some of the North Island's best back roads, all in aid of TimeOut Charity, which provides free holiday breaks for families facing terminal illness. The inaugural event starts in Orewa on 21 November and finishes in Ōtāhuhu, Auckland on 28 November 2026. Businesses can enter a team, sponsor the event, or support a team through donations. R21 restriction applies.

Absolutely. Many NZ motorsport events are free or low-cost for spectators — championship rounds at venues like Hampton Downs and Highlands Motorsport Park regularly draw big crowds. Check each event listing on NZShift to see whether spectators are welcome and if tickets are required. That's exactly why NZShift exists — to bring more Kiwis to the track, whether you're a die-hard petrolhead or just looking for an unforgettable day out with the family. Motorsport isn't just a sport, it's a passion — and we want everyone to experience it.
New Zealand's motorsport season runs year-round, with the summer season (November–April) being the peak period for circuit racing and championships. Winter months tend to feature more rally events, hillclimbs, and off-road motorsport. NZShift keeps the full calendar up to date so you never miss an event.
Entry requirements vary by event type. Club track days are usually open to any driver with a road-legal car. Competitive events often require a MotorSport NZ licence, a race-prepared vehicle, and advance entry. Each NZShift listing links directly to the organiser's entry page so you can register in one click.
