Manfeild May Madness is back ready for your enjoyment and participation.
The theme for this year’s dinner “PROVINCE”
Where were you born or where do you live or dream about? Show some pride and find some garb to show us your style.
Have you ever wanted to experience your Alfa Romeo to its full potential?? May Madness offers you this and plenty more besides. You don’t have to be an all-out racer to enjoy the day, we have something for all levels of interest and experience.
>Driver Training for novices – Get some tuition on how to handle your car on the track from an experienced AROC race driver. This is a great way to safely explore the car under the watchful eye of someone who can guide you around the racetrack in the best possible way. You must register for this, and it happens right at the start so be early on the day or you will miss out.
>Sprints – Single and dual car sprints – the best way to learn some track craft and safely experience your cars potential.
If you want to do a little more, then Sprinting may be for you.
For Single Car Sprints you don’t need any prior track experience or knowledge, but you need to buy a day licence from Motorsport NZ in advance of the day. Then you can enjoy a whole day’s track driving. There are some requirements with safety equipment, so get in touch with us if you have never done this before.For dual car sprints you will need a Club Sport Licence (these are NOT available on the day, so you need to organise it in advance through Motorsport NZ).
If you need a hand organising either a Day Licence or a Clubsport Licence or sorting your car out for the day then get in touch with us - we are full of help!
Unfortunately, current Manfeild rules do not allow for entries from EV or Hybrid vehicles.
>Racing – Alfas were made for this!! Come and compete or come and watch the race grids of Alfas and the exciting Trofeo - ERC series who are returning again this year.
Once again, this year the National Formula First group will be joining us. They will run their 1 hour enduro race from 10.00 to 11.00.>Track Experience – We are running a controlled speed group at lunch time, 20mins, behind the pace car at moderate speed, no helmet, passengers allowed. This is your chance to drive your Alfa or whatever you brought on the track in a controlled manner – it’s not a race, but a chance to explore your car’s great pedigree.
>Socialising – May Madness is all about social engagement and companionship.
With novice driver training, single and dual sprints, races and the lunchtime track experience we have something for everyone.
Race Drivers note qualifying is 9.30am sharp Alfa’s and 9.40am for Trofeo - ERC.
No time = back of the grid.
