Shayne Harris appointed as MotorSport New Zealand’s Chief Steward

MotorSport New Zealand’s Board has appointed Shayne Harris as the sport’s Chief Steward. The vacancy was created following the resignation of Wade Paterson after 12 years in the role.

Harris, a former President of MotorSport New Zealand and former Chief Clerk of the Course, brings a wealth of experience and expertise to the important role. Coupled with being a very experienced Clerk of the Course, Event Director, and Steward, Harris is uniquely placed to advance the development of the Stewards department.

Outside of his Steward role, Harris also holds a Gold Race Clerk of the Course licence. In 2007 Harris was the recipient of a Distinguished Service Award and was made a President D’Honneur in 2016 following his tenure as President from 2010-2016.

I am delighted to be appointed into the role of Chief Steward,” said Harris.

“We have an amazing group of volunteers who make up the Stewarding team and I am excited to start working with them in what I consider to be an extremely important role within motorsport.”
