Carl Cox Motorsport Cup Fires up for ’22!

After a COVID enforced long break the sixth season of the Carl Cox Motorsport Cup was finally launched at the Grind On Cafe on a stunning day in Auckland, NZ. It was followed by the season kick-off at Hampton Downs a week later.

But back to the launch…  a record 48 riders registered for the Cup making it by far the largest class of racing in New Zealand. The series is run by enthusiast Ken Dobson and has had support from Carl for over a decade. It was devised to promote road racing to all, at an entry level and fostering talented riders who have gone on to win National Championships and compete in Europe.

The series features:

11 x Kawasaki Ninja 400's

37 x Hyosung 250's

8 x women competitors (a record for New Zealand race class's)

21 x new Cup competitors

Our first brother and sister competitors

2 x Champions returning to defend titles

The first round of the season brought some epic racing and the sight of a 43 man (and woman!) running race to the grid for the Le Mans start.
