Race to the Sky Hill Climb has Been Axed

Monster TajimaCardrona’s (NZ) long-running Race to the Sky has been axed.

A new organizer has not come forward since founder Grant Aitken’s decision to pull out last year. Costly red tape requirements, as well as road and land access issues, have contributed to the event’s demise.

It is The Magnet for New Zealand petrol heads but this Easter, for the first time in a decade, the winding gravel road up to the Cardrona snow farm will fall silent.
