About This Event
Chrome Expression Session is a weekend where car owners take their own cars onto the Euromarque Motorsport Park circuit to cruise, drift, roll race and do burnouts. It runs at Ruapuna in Templeton, Christchurch, with car clubs, a hard park, traders and food trucks filling the ground around the track.

2Best Way to Experience It
- The two day pass at NZ$60 covers Saturday and Sunday, the days with every session on track. The three day pass at NZ$90 adds the Friday cruise sessions, and a single day is NZ$35.
- The grandstand faces the burnout pad, so it is the closest seat to the burnouts.
