For all those in Motorsport thinking of getting into it.
See below for some new rules.


It has come to light that a number of MSNZ Affiliated Car Clubs have, and are still, allowing participation in ClubSport events which breaches the following rule:
MotorSport Manual 36, Schedule C, Article 5.3 - All competitors of a ‘purpose built vehicle’ are required to hold a valid MotorSport NZ competition licence of M Grade or higher.
As per Schedule A , Part One, Article 1.2: Interpretations: “Purpose built vehicle” means a vehicle that; Has a safety cage fitted, that is not equipped as standard on all production examples of the vehicle, or The construction of which prevents its use on public roads”
This means that a vehicle with a safety cage/rollbar, even though homologated by MSNZ, cannot be used in competition by someone who does not hold a valid M Grade competition licence or higher. Those who obtain a Temporary M Grade licence (known as a Day Licence) do not qualify.
This is a change which was introduced with the publication of Manual 36 on 20 August 2018. It is highly recommended that all clubs, officials and competitors familiarise themselves with these changes. Text changes from the previous issue are highlighted in each of the Schedules.
Also a reminder that physical licence cards still need to be checked on event. Another change implemented in Manual 36 is a penalty for a valid licence holder to compete without being able to provide a copy of their card or valid temporary licence letter.
If you have any queries please do not hesitate to contact the MotorSport NZ Office on 04 815 8015 or email admin@motorsport.org.nz.

Hi People MotorSport NZ have set up some guidelines for using Social Media for events.

MSNZ Social Media Policy 2019 Last Updated: 7 March 2019

SOCIAL MEDIA POLICY

GUIDELINES FOR THE USE OF SOCIAL MEDIA

To be referred to in conjunction with the MotorSport NZ Social Media Policy
1. Mobile devices and social media should not be used while officials are on duty.
Your attention should always be to your officiating duties. Save the internet for your break or the end of the day.

2. Put yourself in the other person’s shoes.
Take a moment to think before you post. If it was you someone was posting a picture or comment about, how would you feel?

3. Once it’s out there, it’s out there.
Never assume that something you post online is private. Comments, photos, statuses can all be copied, shown to friends, screen captured and saved or sent on by others. Always assume the person you are posting about will see your post.

4. If in doubt, leave it out.
If you have to stop and think about it, it probably means you should not be posting it! Remember, your online presence is part of your personal brand. What you say and do online affects how people perceive you.

5. Social media should not be used to make disparaging or negative remarks about competitors, officials, volunteers, event organisers, promoters or MotorSport NZ.
There can be serious consequences for misuse of social media. If you have an issue that needs resolving, there are appropriate channels through which you can do this. If you need advice on how to resolve an issue, call MotorSport NZ on 04 815 8015.

6. Never post photos or comments about a motorsport incident.
It is vitally important that we all respect the privacy of individuals involved in accidents or incidents, whether on or off track. Never, ever post photos, comments or information on social media or other online forum about an accident or incident. Remember point 2: Put yourself in their shoes.

7. Use social media as a tool to promote and encourage the development of our sport.
Social media is an amazing platform if used responsibly and for a positive purpose. Use it to promote events, clubs, activities and membership. Use it to spread the word about our great sport and keep it positive!

These are points worth considering.

Many thanks Bernie (Club MSNZ Rep)

Just a bit of info coming through from NZ Motorsport that I feel is quite relevant to all Motorsport members.




Dear Member Clubs,

Many of you will be aware that the Board of MotorSport NZ had made the decision to place MotorSport House on the market for sale.

This decision came after a lengthy process undertaken by management to re-assess the ongoing needs of the organisation and whether the current premises were suitable for the medium to long term business needs of MotorSport NZ.

MotorSport House had served MotorSport NZ very well as its headquarters for 16 years, but it was very apparent that it was no longer appropriate for the ongoing needs of the organisation for several reasons.

The ever-increasing mobility of MotorSport NZ staff had meant that MotorSport House was generally under-utilised. Having a premises that is larger than needed, or is likely to be needed, contributes to greater than necessary running costs in terms of rates, insurance and maintenance.

Member Clubs were advised at the 2018 AGM that a review would be undertaken, which was met with support from the membership. Last year the process was continuing, and the membership was updated accordingly at the AGM.

One of the key strategic objectives of the Board is to maximise opportunities to commercialise and generate additional revenue streams from various assets and other sources. The desired outcome from this is to generate income for two key reasons, one is to generate income to be reinvested into the sport for the ongoing benefit of its members and stakeholders, while the other is to have the ability to meet ongoing commitments without the need to rely solely on income generated through fees, levies and other charges.

With a stagnated value and no additional revenue being derived from the premises, and additional work required to make it suitable for external tenancies, MotorSport House was not delivering on this objective and was unlikely to in the foreseeable future.

The Board wishes to advise Member Clubs that it has negotiated an unconditional contract for the sale of MotorSport House for $1.3 million, a price that has exceeded the Board’s expectations, and considered a very good price given the current COVID-19 conditions and expected economic fallout.

New Zealand is expected to move into a recessionary economy, and property values are likely to fall as a result.

Therefore, the decision has been made not to reinvest the proceeds of the sale immediately, and these proceeds will be securely ring-fenced for a suitable purchase and other investments designed to achieve the strategy of producing additional income streams for MotorSport NZ and will not be used for any working capital or project funding.

Throughout the decision-making process the Board has been very cognisant of the requirements of the Constitution, particularly rule 15.2, which requires that the Board shall only be able to enter into major transactions (involving 50% or more of MotorSport NZ assets) with the support of 75% of the members present at an AGM.

The Board had sought external advice from its auditors regarding the requirements of rule 15.2, and based on that advice and the Board’s own research, is satisfied that the sale of MotorSport House fully complies with the terms of the Constitution.

In the meantime MotorSport NZ will be taking up a lease on smaller premises on the Kapiti Coast, a location chosen for its close proximity to the majority of staff, and at significantly less cost than what MotorSport House was costing the organisation to maintain and occupy. This decision leaves the organisation in a position where it will be able to act quickly when considering suitable investment opportunities in the future from a cash-buyer’s position.

Kind regards,

We have just received this update from MotorSport NZ for all those interested.


The year is moving fast and an update from us on MotorSport New Zealand operations, finances and projects is due given we have now completed the first quarter of the year. Of course towards the end of this quarter the world was turned upside down with COVID, so there is a lot to update you on.

BUSINESS AS USUAL?
Firstly we, like the whole country, have been affected by COVID-19 and I’d like to take the opportunity to thank the incredible staff for how they have dealt with these challenges. We had already been transferring many of our processes online and had been working to reduce our dependence on old manual processes and paper. So, when the lockdown started the team immediately embraced working from home effectively and efficiently.

Whilst workloads for licensing, authority cards and the like dropped dramatically in March, we have seen a sharp increase in requests for license renewals since moving to Level 3. Over the last week, Morgen has processed approximately 70 competitor licences and 30 official licences. We are anticipating another sharp increase with the upcoming confirmation of the transition date to Level 2.

As we have all heard today, the government announced some overarching guidelines which will apply once we do transition into Level 2. Already we have received a number of calls and emails from clubs and organisers wanting to get going again. We are also extremely keen to ensure that as events start to happen as soon as possible, so we can start to find the new normal.

We know that you’re all eager to start competing again however we need to reiterate that when planning for these events and attending them, please ensure that you follow Sport NZ and Government guidelines to make sure we all do our bit. Following today's update, this is likely to happen sooner rather than later so se will keep you updated as soon as we have any information to hand about any changes to the guidelines or practices. In the meantime, as we’re still at Level 3, we suggest taking a look at this helpful guide on things we can do during this time.

The team have also been steadily working through the backlog of tasks as well as focusing on other projects and new initiatives.

NEW INITIATIVES
There are a number of initiatives underway right now. Many will come as no surprise to you, as members have been asking for these improvements for years while some others are newer. The business plan that was proposed to the board and approved last year included bringing much needed additional skill sets to the team as well as bringing tasks in-house that we previously paid consultants to deliver such as media, public relations, I.T. support and POSSUM to reduce costs and enable us to start delivering outcomes and benefits within motorsport.

TRAINING - Bruce Wilson
One of the most important requests that we have listened to from you has been to improve on how we deliver quality training to our people to improve customer outcomes and to assist in recruiting new people to the sport.

In previous years, our training delivery has been ad-hoc or the result of individuals doing the best they can without being able to focus on this highly skilled aspect of people development. Management requested that we hire a focused trainer based on securing external grant income.



The board decided rightly that there was a need for this resource as a core part of the team and provided our volunteers support in their role which is such a vital part to allow us all to safely and efficiently compete.

We had many strong applicants for this role but we’re pleased to welcome Bruce to the team. Bruce comes from a family with a rich heritage in motorsport - his father was none other than Chris Amon’s mechanic during his time as a Ferrari F1 driver.

Bruce has a strong training background having spent many years with the NZ Police College where he specialised in accident investigation. He also brings skills which allow us to move most of the officials training to a computer-based model, giving us the ability to streamline the training programs with an aim to make it easier for our volunteers to attend and learn.

He is currently working with the Technical team along with the Chief CRO and CotC to move training material that was introduced in 2019 online. We are confident that this will be ready to launch by the start of June, so ties in with the renewal dates of those officials licences at that time.

MEDIA AND DIGITAL - Jordie Peters
Jordie joined us late in 2019, and is charged with improving how we promote and celebrate our sport more whilst improving communications through Digital Media channels. You will have noticed a vast improvement in our Social Media coverage as an example of this.

With the onset of COVID-19 and the ensuing lockdown that we have all been under for the past seven weeks, the rise of eSport racing within the motorsport community has been phenomenal with some great leagues being set up by the 2k Cup team, NZRC competitors, and some of our star drivers including Brendon Hartley, Scott McLaughlin, Hayden Paddon and Chris van der Drift creating Racing Local to support getting kiwi businesses back on track.

MotorSport New Zealand are represented by Elton on the FIA Digital Motorsport working group and we secured an FIA grant at the end of 2019 to grow this new area of the sport.

Jordie has been leading this initiative and working closely with Elton to get this integrated into the MotorSport New Zealand structure. We are very close to announcing our plans on the future of eSport events under the MotorSport New Zealand banner.

We’re incredibly excited to be launching this soon but details are still being finalised. Keep an eye out for the full announcement coming soon but in the meantime, we suggest practicing your digital race craft and watch out for the press release coming soon...

MARKETING AND COMMUNICATIONS - Alana McIsaac
Alana McIsaac, who many of you may already know as a volunteer and co-driver, has joined the team to enable us to improve our communications with all stakeholders within the sport.

Alana has a strong background in media, public relations, marketing and membership communications - both within the sport and outside of it.

You, our members and stakeholders, have consistently told us that our communications to you has by and large been substandard. We are listening and working hard to greatly improve this. We still have a long way to go, but Alana has already made a huge impact.

Alongside this, the board approved her recruitment on the grounds that the sport has a massive milestone coming up in 2022 - our 75th Anniversary. Management proposed to the board that we did not have the resources available to be able to develop and execute a programme that would do this justice without an in-house resource focusing on it. You will hear more about the 75th Anniversary plans post COVID, but we are currently working on this.

Some initial concepts include a series of key national, regional and local events spanning all disciplines of our sport. We’re also investigating ways to make this interactive so everyone can get involved no matter where they are in New Zealand. Paying tribute to our forefathers and the beginnings of motorsport here is also important and a key concept is how to show the general public where we’ve come from and where we’re heading to over the next 75 years. We will need your help with this so have a think about any historical or important memorabilia, stories or images you might have or know about.

If you have any ideas for the 75th, please get in touch with Alana.

TECHNICAL
The technical team has been working non-stop throughout this period. They have had the chance to get on top of the backlog of applications and they have also been working on the recently published WorkSafe Fuel Handling Guidelines to bring this inline with our sports needs, and to make it a more user friendly document to refer to when on an event.

There has been a concerted effort to also update the Technical training program and the content and delivery of it, in conjunction with Bruce. The focus is to make it easier to digest and we think that all of the scrutineers and Technical Officers who will experience it in June will enjoy it.

Work has also gone into creating some much needed “how to” guides for areas such as COD’s and roll cage applications. The effort that is going into creating these reference documents will help those of you when you come to complete those forms and in turn help speed up the processing of them at the office - which ultimately means you can get out competing sooner.

As New Zealand transitioned into Level 3 two weeks ago, we saw an increase in logbook, roll cage and authority card applications which is a great sign that the sport is readying itself to get back on the start line. It’s also a healthy sign that our motorsport technical industry is alive and kicking, and getting itself warmed up for what is hopefully a busy winter of events or car builds.

TECHNOLOGY PROJECTS - Denis Cook
We have recruited technology expertise and welcome Denis Cook to the team as DevOps Engineer. What does that mean? Denis is vastly experienced and brings the ability to lessen our reliance on existing technology providers such as those who built and support POSSUM, our technology based infrastructure and the website. Denis and I are currently working on a roadmap to plan gaining the best ROI possible on the sports pre-existing investment in POSSUM and to update the website.

Another key project that we are investigating as a priority of the board is looking at a digital membership / license app that we see delivering exciting benefits to all members. The key driver for Denis is to work with existing “off the shelf” or cloud based technology platforms and solutions wherever possible to minimise our spend, whilst delivering maximum value including utilising our existing platforms as much as possible.


SPORTING ADMINISTRATION - Raewyn Burke
With a drive to ensure that we are providing the best support we can to our customers and member clubs, we recruited Auckland-based Raewyn Burke to take on the role of Sporting Administrator.

Many of you will know Raewyn as she has been involved in the sport on many fronts from organising tarmac rally events for the Ultimate Rally Group through to being one of the linchpins of the BMW Drivers Series committee.

Her strong knowledge of the sport on both sides of the fence only goes to strengthen the level of support the office can provide our member clubs and competitors as we come out of this lockdown period and get the sport moving again.

MOTORSPORT FRAMEWORK
Elton and I have spent much time and effort engaging with a very broad range of stakeholders during last year for the purpose of devising improvements that can be made where required within the sport. Early this year after gaining the approval from the board we agreed a broad approach and number of initiatives that we felt should be prioritised and implemented. Many of these initiatives have been in circulation for years and I thank you all for engaging with us. There are of course limitless opinions and viewpoints out there and some of the best initiatives looking forward also involve being willing to look back too.

The plan was to work through this with the Commissions and stakeholder groups before communicating this strategy in March and April. With the arrival of COVID, other immediate issues took priority and have delayed progress on the framework.

Given the COVID disruption, we decided to hold back on progressing this with the Commissions until we embarked on an even border and more thorough Stakeholder Engagement exercise and invited every circuit owner, category manager, promoter and over 40 clubs. Some of these meetings had up to 10 people at a time on Zoom!

We are now incorporating the outputs of this stakeholder engagement into the Framework and will be consulting with the Commissions in May to discuss and agree the way forward before sharing this with the wider stakeholder groups. We want to continue to communicate with every single club and stakeholder within the sport in this manner around twice a year.

Stakeholder engagement main insights
We’ll release more information in due course but some interesting and brief insights are as follows:

Q - If you had a magic wand and could change one thing in the sport what would that be?
A - The main answer was to have a better coordinated calendar across the whole sport with less but higher quality events. Also worth noting was a common desire for better training and documentation.

Q - What do you anticipate the impact of COVID on participation, income, etc?
A - Answers ranged from 0% to 50%, most commonly 25-40%

Q - Out of 10, what score would you give MotorSport NZ for our communication over the last 5 years?
A - Average score of 4 - but most people also acknowledged that this has been improving since Elton, Jordie and Alana joined.

I want to pass on our thanks to everyone who has participated for their time in providing feedback and insights as it was invaluable for us. We look forward to working with you all to ensure our sport is in the best possible position long-term.

FINANCES
We’ve already provided updates in terms of the plans for 2020 onwards, with January and February both busy months after completing a major restructure of the business to best enable success.

Of course, due to COVID things have changed and management have been working for most of March and April on revising the budget. It should be noted that MotorSport NZ is not affected anything like other NSO’s as we have no reliance on large broadcasting contracts, nor do we have teams of elite professional athletes to pay for.

We have also successfully applied for the Government COVID relief given our revenues will likely be affected by around 30%, which is aligned with most organisations expectations at this point. We have now sought approval from the board for a revised budget that reduces our operating costs by 36% in anticipation of an income reduction of 41%.

This means significant changes but without hindering the ability of the sport to bounce back out of COVID as healthily as possible and whilst supporting all of our stakeholders to also get through this. Reductions have been made possible through a number of initiatives being placed on hold, renegotiating supply agreements, minimising face to face meeting budgets across the sport (and the board) and have proposed savings for the AGM and Awards dinner. Our costs are often directly related to events and our income, so if that reduces, so do our expenses including liability insurance.

We have also gone unconditional on the sale of 69 Hutt Road which means as of July 2020 MSNZ will have reserves in the area of $2 million and our ongoing costs in relation to our premise will be greatly reduced.

Sale of MotorSport House
You might have seen or heard recently for the first time that MotorSport House on Hutt Road has been sold as directed by our board. I understand that this is important news for our members, so I want to provide a quick overview. In summary:
• The idea of selling the building was originally floated at the 2017 AGM and raised again in 2018 and 2019.
• At the 2019 AGM Finance Workshop, the discussion continued and the minutes show meeting attendees were comfortable with the strategic direction and finances.
• There were many drivers behind selling the building and finding a more appropriate home and which have been well communicated. They include; not being able to justify having a building the size of 69 Hutt Road, especially post The MotorSport Company.
• Previous management had not been able to sublet the building as per the boards instructions and the real estate agent of the time assessed that it was unlikely MotorSport NZ would find sub tenants without significant cash investment in altering the buildings configuration.
• At the August board meeting the board reaffirmed its intention to sell the building and management subsequently listed it with Bayleys Real Estate.
• MotorSport NZ has had multiple valuations conducted on the property over the years but it was agreed to list through auction to secure the best possible price as recommended by our chosen real estate agent.
• Some members expressed concerns to board members that the constitutional process was not being followed for the sale of the building, so the board instructed management to change to a tender listing to enable more flexibility in the sale price should the sale price be so high that it would then require membership approval.
• COVID interrupted the tender process and a buyer was not immediately found.
• The board agreed for the building to remain on the market as recommended by Bayleys and an offer as forthcoming.
• We presented this offer to the board who subsequently authorised management to execute the sale and purchase agreement.
We have leased a new office in Paraparaumu (Kapiti Road), but due to COVID restrictions, we’re not able to move in just yet. Our team is still working remotely due to COVID-19 but we’re hoping to be in the building as soon as the Government lifts working restrictions.

The benefits of moving to Kapiti include savings on building and employment costs and a more convenient location for the vast majority of staff. The building is about a quarter of the size of Hutt Road and is far more suitable for us. We do not need to be near any CBD or central location as by nature our membership is spread across the country, but who knows maybe our smallest club (Kapiti Car Club) may now grow in membership!

If you have any questions please feel free to call me and speak to me in person. I’m happy to answer any questions - and keeping in mind that the transaction has not yet settled, this will be on the 30th of June.

Sport NZ grants
Today Sport New Zealand announced a $25 million package to help sport survive and thrive in the coming months. Our member clubs are eligible for this financial support package which is fantastic and will hopefully assist in lessening the burden of COVID-19 on your club. We thank Sport New Zealand for facilitating these funds to help our clubs and the hundreds of other clubs around the country.

There will be a maximum of $1,000 per club and applications will need to be made through regional sports trusts or bodies. See the Sport NZ Factsheet here or the FAQ’s here.

Please contact us if you need assistance with this.

Management have also negotiated an additional $60k in grants taking the total government support for MotorSport NZ from $15k to $75k over the next 12 months.

Community Grants
All community grants are currently unavailable but we are advised and expect this to come back online in July and will be a focus for us for securing revenue.

MSNZ Championship fees
As part of the framework project we anticipate a significant reduction in championship fees for competitors. Details will be finalised in the coming weeks.

Competition Licences and Authority Cards
As both of these items are intrinsically entwined due to the competition licence expiry date, we are currently looking at options for the renewal of competition licences and authority cards and how we might support these renewals in the coming months. While no decisions have been made on exactly how we will do this, we are working with the LVVTA and looking at a variety of options and hope to let you know soon what the plans are.

Officials Licences
After some discussions with the Chief CotC, it has been agreed that for those CotC Bronze Officials whose license will expire at the end of June this year, your licence will now be extended to June 2021.

When your renewal comes around in June 2021, you will need to have completed the refresher training programme.

Morgen will be proactively working on these extensions over the next few weeks, and she has asked that you please do not apply for your renewal. At the moment, we are unable to print and post the physical cards but we are working through this and will have them to you as soon as we are able. If you need proof of your current licence, please email Morgen who can provide a digital update to those who may need it.
--
As always, I’d love to hear your thoughts and feedback so please feel free to get in touch with me on simon@motorsport.org.nz or on 021 288 4228. While we’re still in unprecedented times, I wanted to assure you that our team continues to work hard and are committed to getting you all back out competing as soon as it's safe.

Kind regards,
Simon Baker

Email dated 20th August 2020:


Hi Classic Car Club Contacts,

I'm very sorry to advise that this year's Targa VCC Time Trial is now unable to be held in October due to Covid-19 and the change of the NZ election date.
Unfortunately Targa can't run an event which involves road closures on election day.
Targa had also planned on using schools as service stops, which now may also be used as electoral polling stations.
Please refer to the Targa email below which explains in more detail.

I'd very appreciate it if you would please forward this email to your club membership database to ensure that everyone is informed of these changes.

Also, for those club members who may be interested in joining us for a future time trial event, please complete the Targa survey below which will be most helpful in guiding future decisions.

Any other queries please call me.

I'll email everyone a further update as soon as I know more.

Regards,

Rod Corbett,
VCC Steward,
Targa VCC Time Trial.
