🚨 All Karting New Zealand licenses expire tonight 🚨

If you are a current Karting NZ License Holder (Competition or Practice) you would have received a pre populated form

You will have received an email with a link to renew for the 2026/2027 year.

Use this – it is an auto-renewal. You won’t have to wait for the KSNZ office to process.

DO NOT use a ‘blank’ form.

If you do this your historical licence number is GONE 😞

NOTE – if you have held both a Practice & Competition Licence in the 2025/2026 year you will receive two links – one for each.

Make sure you use the correct one you want.

If you have a Practice but want to upgrade to Competition for this coming year you will have to use a blank form.

🏁 Nico Thomasen Motorsport is off to Portugal! 🏁
Nico has really shown us all how good he is behind the wheel and we can wait to see how he goes at this next level! Please support him where you can.

The whole club is behind you mate - we are so proud of you. Go hard! 🏆

Hi everyone, as you know I’m off to Portugal in November for the Rotax Grand Finals and I’m so excited! This obviously comes at a pretty big cost and we have set up a fundraising page, we have had some incredibly generous donation already and we’re so grateful. We’re also going to be doing some cool auctions (watch this space if your a warriors fan 👀)
For anyone who’s keen to get behind me check out the page below. Thanks Nico ✌🏼
