Welcome to Ruapuna

Keep up to date with all of our major events at the track here. Ruapuna is known worldwide for some of our seriously awesome racing events hosted at the track. Both two and four wheel motorsport events run although out the year, many of which are afternoon events, with others spanning across a whole weekend. We are serious about the rush of motorsport.

We are in the business of bringing exciting motorsport racing to the region and work with a variety of event hosts to do so. We strive to ensure the circuit is well utilised providing good racing, that both competitors and spectators are welcomed to the facilities.

Since the motor car first arrived in New Zealand, Christchurch was the pioneering centre for Motorsport in New Zealand despite not having a permanent circuit. And so Ruapuna was created by an abundance of people, passionate about motorsport.
