ENZED Southern Classic - 8th, 9th and 10th February

Classic Motor Racing Club

Hi neighbours, bring along your picnic to the Second Meeting of the Southern Classic Racing Experience.

This year, we are fortunate to present a round of the fantastic South Island Porsche Racing Series and the return of those exciting and beautifully prepared Formula Juniors from the UK, Australia and New Zealand.

The Historic and Vintage Car Club Class portray the birth of car racing here in New Zealand and while they might be our older racecars, they are not slow out on the track.

Another large class of racing are the Classic Saloons who always present some spirited and close competition on the track, and then of course there are the Classic Muscle who give us the noise and thrills from the big boys. The Rennsport class means German Racing which combines Porsche, BMW and any other German marque and provide a variety in spectacle and speed. The Single Seaters or Formula Libre and Sports and GT’s complete the lineup for the meeting.

Some Choice News!

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

DOC is rolling out a new tool to help figure out what to tackle first when it comes to protecting our threatened species and the things putting them at risk.

Why does this matter? As Nikki Macdonald from The Post points out, we’re a country with around 4,400 threatened species. With limited time and funding, conservation has always meant making tough calls about what gets attention first.

For the first time, DOC has put real numbers around what it would take to do everything needed to properly safeguard our unique natural environment. The new BioInvest tool shows the scale of the challenge: 310,177 actions across 28,007 sites.

Now that we can see the full picture, it brings the big question into focus: how much do we, as Kiwis, truly value protecting nature — and what are we prepared to invest to make it happen?

We hope this brings a smile!
