Réunir à Mahurangi

5th – 7th March 2024

A warm welcome to those intending to Register for the 2024 National Rally hosted by the Auckland Citroën Car Club, to be held in Warkworth/Mahurangi region north of Auckland, Tuesday to Thursday 5th – 7th March.

Registrations will open  om the 1st October 2023

A little about the Rally region. The Rally will be held in the Warkworth/Mahurangi region. Warkworth is a pretty town with a rich history, that today hosts an interesting selection of restaurants and accommodation. It is in the northern part of the Auckland region and is located on State Highway 1, 64km north of Auckland and 98km south of Whangarei, at the head of the Mahurangi Harbour. The Warkworth district is known as the Kowhai Coast and the town’s annual Kowhai Festival is one of the largest community festivals in the country, running for a week in spring.

New Zealand’s main satellite communications ground station is located 5 km south of Warkworth. We will utilise the VCC Clubrooms there as part of our rally format.

A new toll motorway speeds up the journey from Auckland considerably, but the old north road is still in use.

It’s a playground for Aucklander’s keen to visit great beaches (Omaha, Mathesons Bay, Pakiri) and the Tawharanui Regional Park. The area is also home to many vineyards, sculpture parks and artisan manufacturers.

It’s a popular place, weekend traffic can be chaotic, especially at the Saturday Matakana market. For this reason, we have chosen to hold the rally mid-week on the 5^th, 6^th and 7^th March. This timeslot also meshes well with the Auckland Brit and Euro Classic Car show on Sunday 3^rd March.

Accommodation in the area is at a premium in March, so if you’re intending to join, we recommend that you consider pencil booking. There are some ‘Boutique’ or ‘Classic’ Rooms held at Bridgehouse Lodge for a limited time at a special price. Contact Ramona Holt at the Bridgehouse.

We are looking forward to another successful CCCNZ National Rally that reunites old friends.
