Statement from MotorSport NZ on the NZ Formula 1600 Championship
MotorSport NZ would like to address some misinformation being shared publicly about potential changes to the New Zealand Formula 1600 Championship regulations.
The current situation is:
– The MotorSport NZ Board has approved the concept of a new Formula 1600 car, with a control chassis and engine, which will run initially in the MSNZ Formula 1600 Championship in compliance with Schedule F.
– A proposal has been approved in principle by MotorSport NZ for the new controlled cars to run as Class 1 in the NZ Formula 1600 Championship. The proposal makes provision for all current F1600 compliant cars to be included, potentially as a Class 2 but still eligible for overall honours.
– MotorSport NZ holds the promotion rights to its championship categories. At this stage there has been no formal discussion regarding who will organise and promote the NZ Formula 1600 Championship from 2019/20 onwards. This will be dealt with through our usual tender process.
