Book your spot
Spark 5G Race Zone is a free 60 minute experience. It's open to the public but you must book ahead.
Experience data visualisations of forecasted wind speed, gusts and tides that help the team choose a course.
Course Selection predicts the likely course that race organisers might choose. You can see the factors that influence that choice.
The Waitematā harbour offers a variety of courses, so no matter where the wind comes from, racing can happen. Emirates Team New Zealand set up the
boat to maximise conditions, so it helps to know the harbour, the sea state, tides and how winds impact the course.
You’ll experience this map as a 12 hour forecast condensed into a three minute time lapse. It projects visualisations of forecasted wind speed, gusts and tides modelled by NIWA and shows how the team can decide which course to practise on each day.
