Final Entries update 6/8/22

Regulations: 2022-07-07th Auchenflower Rd Gravel Sprint Regs
One of our most popular gravel sprints Auchenflower Rd Gravel Sprint give drivers 8.7km of fast flowing, public road with twisty section in the middle to test their skills. There are three bridges, some fast straights and several high speed blind brows to provide a real challenge for drivers and cars. One of our longer sprints, Auchenflower Rd is a favorite for many of our local drivers who have driven it many times over the years. Situated just south of Sheffield, Canterbury it’s a wicked road with one of the fastest sections in our sprint series.
Using public road as a return road so non road legal cars, double driver and double entries need to ensure they have appropriate plans in place
Brad Harris (EVO 6.5) won first overall & class 4 4WD last time it was ran in 2018
Class winners in 2018

The course is approximately 4.5 km of gravel road, with a hard base. The first third of the course is on a flat open section with few corners before it starts to climb. There are some challenging corners here as it passes adjacent to a small forestry block before proceeding down a gradual downhill with wide sweeping corners before finishing on the flat
