In conjunction with Oliver Foote Media, the Kartstars Committee and KartSport New Zealand are pleased to announce an improved digital media package for the 2025 Hampton Downs NZ Racing Academy Kartstars series.

In conjunction with up-and-coming photographer Oliver Foote, this year’s edition of the series will see increased ‘at event’ social media coverage via the KartSport New Zealand social media pages, with photographs published throughout the weekend. The goal of this is to capture and share those special moments, such as race winners, podiums, team interactions and volunteers readily as the weekend unfolds.

At round one of the series in Auckland, there will be an element of trial and error as we work through finding the best updates and moments to share throughout a race weekend. Photos shared on our page will be free to use for those covered but may in time include sponsor and series branding.

In conjunction with this, a purchasable photography package of $50 per driver per class will be available each round. Post-event, photos of you in action will be collated and supplied to you and will include any photos taken of you. 

Beyond covering travel & accommodation costs (if any), all funds raised will be passed on to Oliver to help develop his photography career. Oliver originally reached out via a Kartstars call for help via social media and KartSport New Zealand and the Kartstars team thank him for his willingness to work through a deal that benefits all parties.

The photography packages are available for purchase pre-event, with the form for round one of the Hampton Downs NZ Racing Academy Kartstars available here: https://www.sporty.co.nz/viewform/338502 

This partnership is NOT an exclusive deal and other KartSport New Zealand media licence holders are able to continue to offer their services as per standard procedures.
