MotorSport New Zealand holds two national ClubSport championships annually. National Championships are the highest level of motor racing in New Zealand.

The NZ ClubSport Championship incorporates three very popular grassroots motorsport disciplines which form the basis of many New Zealand motorsport club events:

·         Motorkhana – an entry level event, run on a grass or sealed surface, where a competitor navigates their car around a course, of approximately 100 metres in length and marked by cones, at low speeds, usually in first gear and, at times, in reverse.

·         Autocross – a larger version of a motorkhana, but forward direction only and including straights of up to 100 metres (seal) or 200 metres (grass).

·         Bent sprint – a timed run on a road course, gravel or sealed, which has at least one bend or curve.

MotorSport New Zealand’s Gold Star Hillclimb Championship is a ClubSport championship contested over a new one weekend, winner takes all format. The outright NZ Hillclimb Champion is awarded the title of NZ Gold Star Hillclimb Champion, reflecting the championship’s status as one of MotorSport New Zealand’s Gold Star championships.
