Supercars is pleased to announce that with support from the New Zealand Government and Taupō District Council, the Repco Supercars Championship will return to New Zealand and race at Taupō International Motorsport Park from 2024.
“It’s fitting that Supercars is coming back to NZ and hats off to everyone who has made it happen,” commented Tony Quinn, owner of Taupo International Motorsport Park. “The Kiwis are going to love the excitement of it all. While some people might be surprised that it’s at our Taupō Track, we think it’s a winning combination – the track will provide excellent racing, the consents are all in place, Taupō and their community have a proven track record in hosting world-class events, and we know that Supercars knows how to make the magic happen.
“Since purchasing the park at the end of 2021, we’ve been full steam ahead bringing it up to “TQ” standard and it’s special for our organisation to be part of the team making Supercars a reality back in NZ, in one of the most stunning regions in the country.
“I’ve no doubt that the Aussies that make the trip over to NZ are going to be well impressed with the Taupō region and all it has to offer and will go home and spread the good word!”
Following productive discussions, the New Zealand Government via the Major Events Fund has confirmed its backing for an event to take place at the North Island circuit from 2024 until at least 2026.
