Hampton Downs Racing Academy

New Zealand has always punched above its weight on the world stage when it comes to motorsport. Now, the Hampton Downs NZ Racing Academy (HDNZRA) will make it easier for drivers to gain the skills and experience they need to take their sport to the next level and develop the next generation of talent.

Hampton Downs NZ Racing Academy has been created to upskill and support local and international drivers at a world-class facility. Whether you’re wanting to make the jump from go-karts to cars or have been racing cars for several years and want to hone your skills to improve as a racing driver, we have something for you!

The academy is primarily designed for up and coming drivers to learn basic and advanced driving skills but it is also open to club racers who want to improve their technique.

Hampton Downs is proud of New Zealand’s rich motorsport legacy and is fast becoming a hub for the sport with the Toyota Racing Series and drift car driver ‘Mad Mike’ Whiddett’s team, just a few of the motorsport brands to be based out of Hampton Downs.
