Yesterday it was announced that Motorsport Promotions Ltd was restructuring its personnel and looking ahead to a fresh start for the upcoming summer of motorsport, and beyond.

We caught up with David Dovey, the Motorsport Promotions Ltd Interim Management Team Leader and Board Member, regarding the immediate future of the company, the NZV8s and its supporting classes.

“MPL is an important asset owned jointly by the circuits owning clubs, circuit operating clubs and Motorsport NZ,” David says.

“This link has allowed stability and growth over the last 15 years. While there is uncertainty and much change currently, the new board and new management of MPL is committed to the future, and it may be very different to what is currently on offer.

“This commitment will reward us all in time with a new breed of champions and household names associated with our sporting success.

“The success of the IRC classes and its solidarity to the Gold Star Championship series will ensure the series for the coming season will be an entertainment package fitting of such quality sporting events.”

Yesterday’s statement is an important step for the future of motor racing in this country. Stay tuned for more updates in the coming days and weeks, regarding the support class structure, series calendar and other exciting developments.
