Angee Shand, Marketing & Innovation Executive for the ILT says, “we are thrilled that Ascot Park Hotel will be a part of the driving force behind the upcoming Classic SpeedFest. Ascot has a proud history of welcoming car enthusiasts and car-related groups to the hotel, so we see this as a natural alignment and extension of our relationship with Teretonga Park, another organisation with a strong community focus. We’re looking forward to a fantastic event in February 2024.”
Southland Sports Car Club Race Committee Chairman, Wayne Shieffelbein says, “we are grateful to the Ascot Park Hotel for their support of one of our most prestigious events.
