APS CLASSIC
Motorcycle Racing Festival
New Zealand's largest and longest-running Classic Motorcycle Racing Festival is back at Feilding's Manfeild circuit Chris Amon for 2025.
For over 45 years the New Zealand Classic Motorcycle Racing Register's annual 'Festival' race meeting has been the premier event for Classic and Post-Classic motorcycle racing in New Zealand.
With its unique 'open pits' set up the event has built a reputation for allowing visitors to not only see great bikes being raced hard on track, but also to get close up to the machines and riders between races.
What's more, with ample space for camping in the Manfeild showgrounds area, the 'Festival' allows competitors and visitors alike to 'Make a weekend of it' and camp onsite to be part of the atmosphere.
This year, as well as the usual Championship races, the event will play host to 10 special new New Zealand Classic TT Trophy Races where riders will compete for National Classic Titles.
Nowhere else will you see some of New Zealand's most successful riders and Champions such as Andrew Stroud and Dennis Charlotte compete in the morning on a vintage bike from the 1920's, and the same day take to the track on a Britten or a Macintosh Suzuki!
The perfect day trip or overnight destination for car or bike clubs - or just a bunch of mates.
The Manfeild circuit has LOADS of parking and there are great roads heading into the Manuwatu from all directions North, South, East and West. We welcome other vehicle enthusiasts to bring their passion for cars, bikes, traction engines - whatever - and make the most of a day or two out enjoying the vehicles we all love.
