Motorsport in December?

[Tim.C]

Hi Folks,

I'm visiting NZ for three weeks from the end of November and travelling around North and South Islands in a camper van...

I was womdering if there's any good motorsport to see? There's obviously so much other stuff to see and do but I'm away from home for 4-6months in total and will need to get my fix somewhere.

Cheers
