    MNZ members get ferry discount. I'm not sure how much though.

    Here are all discounts listed.

    Depends on the time of year but I've travelled Bluebridge on the way back from Puke for less than the Interislander mnz ferry discount and that was just turning up at Bluebridge and booking an hour before it left

    If you're doing the nationals and book as soon as the dates are out you can get the cheap fares anyway

    Yeah but I think you're still better using the MNZ discount code. You get total flexibility on changing crossing times etc with no financial penalty of the standard fares. Booking six months+ out can sometimes cause a few problems if things change in the interim.

    How did I miss the memo on ferry discounts? I would hae employed it when I did SOT a couple years ago.

    I was just asked, "if you're sponsored by Pirelli, why the need to bludge for tyres"?

    There are different levels of sponsorship, and although we get a good deal indeed, they are by no means free. VERY few racers are getting free tyres.

    I wonder if there is a common misconception about this?

    Look at my sponsors list, (in my signature), if I wasn't paying for their products still, why would they sponsor at all?
