Motorhead has been announced as a new festival to be held at Taupo's Ricoh Motorsport Park.
The Motorhead Festival to be held on Sunday, March 8 is being organised and run by Tauranga-based Drift Motorsport NZ, the company which has previously run D-Comp and grassroots drift events at the circuit.
The Pro-level D-Comp will remain the main draw card, but this year it will be supplemented by a number of other activities including motocross and supermoto racing, a burnout competition, show 'n' shine events for cars and trucks, and track-cruise sessions.
"What we're trying to do is combine a whole lot of different but complementary activities together in the one place," event co-organiser Drew Donovan said. "So that, say, someone into motocross can get to see what drifting is all about, and someone into drifting, or the show car scene, can get to see what motocross and supermoto are all about."
Complementing the activities on and off the track would be a dyno shootout - to find out who had the most powerful car - a car tug-of-war, live air-brushing demos and a sound-off. There will also be trade stands and a kids zone.
