The 12th Anniversary of the Race4Life Track Day at Hampton Downs was absolutely awesome. It would seem that every year it just gets better and better.
On March 12th 80 patients and their families descended on Hampton Downs Raceway in Te Kauwhata for what turned out to be a cracker of a day in every which way.
The ingredients were much the same as previous years, however the addition of kombi vans, a fire engine and a black and white police car with the cherry on top, sealed it!!
Our special guests were given the chance to experience some serious speed with a selection of race cars to choose from in the morning session. Exhilarating speeds of 250kph were reached and expectations exceeded!! After lunch the focus changed to driving in luxury. The dream was realised when the line-up of cars could be seen on the track. Porsches, Lamborghinis, Aston Martins, Mustangs, Ferraris, McLarens, Audis, Lexus, you name it, it was there!! The mandatory rides in a helicopter, in big rig trucks and motorbikes were all available. Peter Struder one of our special guests, managed to fulfil his personal wish on this special day. His wish to meet an All Black was granted, when Josh Kronfield, with very little notice, arrived for the day and took Peter for a ride on his 2019 Harley Davidson.
There are over 50 sponsors of this event, making a huge difference in the lives of 80 patients and their families. On behalf of the Race4Life Team, thanks a million to each and every one of you . How privileged are we to witness humanity at its best!
The day was covered by four film crews and two official professional photographers.
The magic was captured well and truly
Enjoy!!
