Its great having a fast motor but I would like to test the limits on cornering as well. I have a motorbike also and for me cornering is where its at. thanks........muncher Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/25273-tracks-in-nz/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have public days once a month (might be like the first or last Friday of each month).Join a local club, and get a race licence. Then you can do street sprints, hill climbs etc as well as getting all the information on local events coming up.
