Gary and the team at Playday On Track have put together an Auckland Gymkhana series consisting of 3 events, the first of which was run on Saturday (25th of June).
Recently made famous by Ken Block, Gymkhana is growing in popularity around the world but the truth is Gymkhana has been around for years, often performed by local car clubs in paddocks or empty car parks. The guys at Motul NZ along with us here at STM would like to see more gymkhana events throughout the country, it’s a great way to get involved in motorsport without a massive outlay. You can compete and be competitive with a street car and entry fees won’t break the bank.
The STM x Playday event is designed to improve your driving skills in a safe, fun and relaxed environment. Carl Ruiterman came along in a near stock standard (less than 200kw atw) AWD Subaru Impreza STi, to demonstrate it’s not what you are driving rather how you are driving it.
Check here to see the video of Carl tearing it up in the video below.
The next two dates are:
Saturday 30th July 2011 10am – 2pm
Saturday 20th August 2011 – 10am – 2pm
