about this event

Two-day track day festival at Hampton Downs open to all vehicles — cruising, roll racing, drifting, burnouts, hard park, and more.

The Nats' Ultimate Track Day returns to Hampton Downs for 2026 with two massive days of non-stop motorsport action open to all makes and models. EPIK 4 & Rotary Nationals brings the scene together for a weekend of track cruising, roll racing, drift demos, wet skid pan challenges, hard park displays, and hitch-a-ride passenger experiences. Since 2018 the event has grown year on year, and 2026 doubles the action with a full Saturday–Sunday programme on the famous Hampton Downs National Circuit. Whether you're a driver, a builder, or just there to soak it all in, this is the kind of weekend where the cars are built to be driven — and spectators get closer to the action than ever.

Are track days in New Zealand open to the public?

Yes — many NZ track days welcome everyday drivers who want to experience a race circuit in a safe, controlled environment. You typically don't need a race licence; a road-legal car with a current WOF is enough for most events. Check each event listing on NZShift for specific entry requirements.

Can I watch motorsport as a spectator in New Zealand?

Motorsport isn't just a sport, it's a passion — and we want everyone to experience it.

What is the NZ motorsport season calendar?

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.

How do I enter a motorsport event in New Zealand?

Entry requirements vary by event type. Club track days are usually open to any driver with a road-legal car.
