Motorsport 20th Anniversary Spectator Events

WPR Arch - historic

10 November 2017 / Mel Keller

Hot Laps, Trackday Tours, Race Car displays - for spectators, there’ll be so much to see and do at our MX-5 Club 20th Anniversary of Motorsport event.

Charity Hot Laps

Here is your chance to jump in the passenger seat for some fast laps with one of our competition drivers. At Wakefield Park on Sunday 26 November, we will raffle 8 passenger hot laps sessions to raise money for CareFlight. Tickets are $2 each or 3 for $5 and will be available from the MX-5 Club Centre at the northern end of pit lane.

A helmet and suitable clothing of long sleeves and pants with closed shoes will be available to raffle winners or bring your own. A signed Wakefield Park Raceway disclaimer is required.

Trackday Tours

See what goes on behind the scenes of our Club Trackdays. We’ll start in the pit garages, meeting the drivers and their cars before visiting the starting grid for a chat with Grid Marshal Joe Kovacic. After a trip to the Control Tower, we will join the Flag marshals at Flagpoint 1 for a front line view of all the action at Turn 2.

Register at the MX-5 Club Centre at the northern end of pit lane. A signed Wakefield Park disclaimer is required for Flagpoint 1. Numbers are limited.

Arch of Victory Photos

A chance to recreate history. Our Club photographer Rob Wilkins will be on hand to professionally photograph you and your MX-5 under Wakefield Park’s famous archway.  

Register at the MX-5 Club Centre at the northern end of pit lane.

Race Car Display

Visit the pit garages to inspect some of the fastest MX-5s in the country and meet the drivers.

MX-5 Parade Lap

So how many MX-5s does it take to fill a race track? All competitors and spectators are invited to join us in a Parade Lap of Wakefield Park Raceway. The MX-5 Parade Lap will be conducted at low speed behind a pace car.

Helmets are not required for the Parade Lap but drivers and passengers must sign a Wakefield Park disclaimer form at the MX-5 Club Centre at the northern end of pit lane.

Mods Show

Members are invited to display their MX-5 in the spectator parking area.
