The New Zealand Festival of Motor Racing event, celebrating Kiwi motorsport hero Chris Amon, has been postponed by organisers.

Today's racing has been cancelled due to rain and unsuitable track conditions at the Hampton Downs circuit.

The festival continues next weekend, running from Friday to Sunday, and officials say anyone holding a ticket for Sunday 23 will be able to use it next Sunday (Jan 30).
