I have talked to a few of the guys from Auckland and people that have attended before. I am thinking meet up at drury at 7am and be on the road to hamptons by 7:30 at the latest. Drivers briefing is at 8:30am and there are a few people that will hit the track, and we will want a good spot to park up etc and avoid some traffic too. Nick is also wanting to take some good fog rolling shots for us as well. If you are late you are late and you can still just roll down and meet us there, but i am not sure if there will be other drivers briefings

Hello all,
In just a few months Toyota New Zealand will be holding the annual Toyota Festival. Next year in 2019 it will be held in the north island at Hampton downs circuit.
It is a HUGE event that celebrates any Toyota make and model, from supras, MR2s and celicas to the humble corolla and camry. There are many fun events held at the festival such as cruise sessions, drag racing, drifting?, gymkhana as well as an opportunity to hit the skid pan too.
For cars that do not wish to indulge in speed events, the crowd favourite Show & Shine competition returns for all kinds of Toyotas based on vehicle age.
There are not too many details released just yet but we can keep all useful information regarding it here, and we can update it as more information comes in. These will include things such as pricing for entry/track time and what our plans are for the day. There are a bunch of us in auckland planning to go to the event as well as a few from the south island potentially. As it stands we have planned to maybe do a big pre meet up at BP drury and we can proceed to cruise on down to hamptons for the festival. i believe everyone will be let onto the track as well to line up and take a huge photo of all of the cars at the end of the day.
Ideally, as every other toyota club and car club that goes does, we should bring the club flag/banners and have them posted up at a location we decide to designate for our cars
to represent ourselves, our cool cars and what we are all about 
It is still early days, but just wanted to get the word out there in case people want to prepare, get the day off or need a reason to get their cars into once piece 
Here is a video that showcases some of the stuff you can see there: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vslNr0yQMs4

Don't think it would now as I would need to refurbish some of the anodised fittings, but it was a good feeling at the time.
