The Southland Sports Car Club returns to Rakahouka on Sunday (February 28) to hold the Kings Grass Autocross 2021.

Following the huge success of last year's paddock racing, the club heads back to Nigel and Liz Kings' farm at Rakahouka for non-championship, grass roots motorsport.

Located just 15 minutes from Invercargill, the event is a Clubsport basic event and requires cars to have a current WOF or meet Schedule A of the Motorsport Manual.
