Tickets are selling out fast for the Leadfoot Festival to be held over the weekend of February 3-4, fast becoming New Zealand’s equivalent of the UK’s Goodwood Festival, and featuring a motoring extravaganza that gets bigger every year.

Held at motorsport great Rod Millen’s ranch in Hahei on the beautiful Coromandel Peninsula, Leadfoot was originally a private blast for Rod and his mates, but for the past five years it has been opened up to the public by Rod and his wife Shelly, who have grown it into a unique weekend bringing together a mix of hot cars, classic cars, vintage motorcycles and motorsport legends.

The 150 acre, ocean-front estate in features a long driveway that winds through the property designed to be the perfect hill climb, and guests are given one-of-a-kind experiences featuring unparalleled access to the competitors, pits and race vehicles.

The Leadfoot Festival is designed for men and women, boys and girls. Visitors dress in period style clothing to step back in time making the Leadfoot Festival an incredible family experience and a true celebration of motorsports and all things automotive.

The selection of machinery on Leadfoot Ranch will include a spectacular array of some the world’s finest competition cars and motorcycles. From classic formula and road race cars to off-road machines and vintage motorcycles, the Leadfoot Festival attracts competitors and race cars reminiscent of many eras in an enthusiastic display of speed, style, sound, smell and colour.

Rod Millen personally hand selects championship racers from around the world to receive the coveted invitation to participate in the Leadfoot Festival. A collection of static celebrated vintage cars and bikes will line areas of the paddocks to complete the weekend.

Motorhome owners are encouraged to camp and enjoy the whole weekend, and there are VIP hospitality areas as well as general tickets. These start at $57 per person per day if bought online ($70 bought at the gate). More details http://www.leadfootfestival.com.
