Pit Pilot: An Event Directory for New Zealand Motorsport

Pit Pilot is New Zealand’s home for motorsport and automotive events, from drift days and car shows to karting and off-road meets. We built a bold website that makes events easy to find and easy to submit.

All the Action, in One Place

About the client

Pit Pilot connects New Zealand’s motorsport and automotive community: organisers, drivers, pit crews, photographers and spectators. Every week it publishes a Weekend Event Guide across social media and email.

The brief

The community needed one clean, easy-to-use place to discover what’s on each weekend, and organisers needed a simple way to get their events listed and promoted.

Our approach

We gave the brand a high-energy dark design with bold motorsport imagery, built the site around an events calendar, and added clear paths to submit an event and subscribe to the weekly guide.
