ILT marketing and innovation executive Angee Shand said Ascot Park Hotel was thrilled to be a part of the driving force behind the event.
"Ascot has a proud history of welcoming car enthusiasts and car-related groups to the hotel, so we see this as a natural alignment and extension of our relationship with Teretonga Park, another organisation with a strong community focus. We’re looking forward to a fantastic event in February 2024."

In 2024 the Ascot Park Hotel Classic SpeedFest sees the return of overseas competitors and we know many of our competitors and motorsport fans choose to stay at the Ascot Park Hotel when they come to Teretonga Park," he said.
