🏁How good is it seeing Chris & the 2NZM tearing it up on the dirt in the States, representing on the world stage, and carrying Tauranga businesses on the car? That’s exactly what Speedway can do!

We’re excited to share some fantastic news. Yesterday was a big day for us with the Tauranga City Council about the future of Speedway at Baypark. We’re thrilled to announce that our proposal was successful, and we can now confirm that Speedway will be racing at Baypark until 2039!
This has been a very long journey for so many people working tirelessly behind the scenes.
Without every one of them, we wouldn’t be here today. We want to give special thanks to:

• The Steering Committee, which has been with us on this journey from the very start
• The Bay of Plenty Speedway Association for all their hard work
• Bill Buckley – The Man, the Myth, the Legend

That circle of support kept growing. We’re incredibly lucky and grateful to have amazing backing from near and far—from our drivers, the sporting body Speedway New Zealand, race teams, our incredible volunteers, and our dedicated and loyal fans right across Tauranga, the Bay of Plenty, and all of New Zealand.

We also want to acknowledge WOODS Agency for coming on board and helping us get over the finish line with such a big and successful Keep the Heart of Baypark Beating campaign.

And of course, a huge thank you to Tauranga City Council for their support and for working with us through this entire process.

From all of us here at Speedway Racing Limited, thank you all so very much. None of this would be possible without every single person and every bit you all contributed.

We are now moving into the final steps, and we can’t wait to help shape an exciting new future for Speedway that will remain at the heart of Baypark until 2039!

Baypark Speedway has had a huge day today at the Tauranga City Council Meeting, and we’re pleased to say it went really well!

We need a bit of time to process everything properly and get it written up, but we’ve got some very positive news to share with you all tomorrow morning.

🏁Watch this space—there are exciting times ahead for Speedway in Tauranga and for the sport right across the country. 🏁

A big thank you to everyone who filled out the survey to help keep the heart of Baypark racing strong and support Speedway in Tauranga. Our journey continues as we now engage in discussions with the council following the public consultation, kicking off this week. Your voices are making a real difference!"

Community feedback showed 90% of Tauranga residents support extending the lease, with 84% strongly supporting it. Over 3,500 people responded to the survey.
The proposal would reduce costs and risks to ratepayers, and allow Speedway to continue at the venue, and enable the broader Baypark Masterplan development.

With the New Zealand Midget Car Championship coming to The Place for Pace this season for the first time on January 16th and 17th, let’s take a trip down memory lane to the old-school classics!

Back when you had to push the cars out and wait for the trusty push truck to fire them up… when teams wore matching gear, and helmet safety and head room were a bit questionable—but the racing was every bit as fast, fierce, and action-packed as today.

We’re pulling out all the stops to make this year’s championship truly memorable for the drivers and an absolute spectacle for the fans. Mark those dates in your calendar—you won’t want to miss it!
