Welcome to the hub for everything motor racing in Aotearoa. Whether you love drifting around the city streets, cheering at a rally stage, or watching the thunder of V8s at the circuit, we’ve got the low‑down you need. This page pulls together the hottest news, upcoming events and profiles of Kiwi drivers who are making waves both at home and abroad.
New Zealand’s racing calendar is packed from January to December. The New Zealand Grand Prix at Highlands Motorsport Park still draws a global crowd, while the Supercars Championship splash‑down at Pukekohe keeps the adrenaline high. Don’t miss the Rally New Zealand rounds that test drivers on forest tracks, and the NZ Touring Car Championship at Manfeild, which showcases local talent in close‑quarter battles.
From the fast‑flowing corners of Hampton Downs to the historic bends of Pukekohe Park Raceway, New Zealand offers a range of circuits for every taste. If you prefer a more relaxed vibe, Manfeild provides a family‑friendly atmosphere with plenty of paddock access. Each venue has its own story – the turn‑by‑turn guide on our site helps you pick the best spot to watch the overtakes.
Local heroes keep the scene exciting. Scott Dixon may be an Indy champion, but his Kiwi roots inspire a new generation of drivers. Meanwhile, Brendan O'Brien and Tom Tuohy dominate the domestic touring series, proving that home‑grown talent can compete with the best. Our driver profiles dive into their careers, training routines, and secret tips for aspiring racers.
If you’re new to the sport, the entry‑level series like the NZ Formula Ford or the New Zealand Rallycross Championship are great places to start. These series run on tighter budgets but still deliver big thrills. We break down ticket prices, best viewing spots, and where to grab a bite so you can enjoy the day without breaking the bank.
Fans also love the community side of motorsports. Club nights, car meets and track days bring enthusiasts together. Our guide to the top clubs – from the Auckland Motor Club to the Wellington Car Club – includes meeting times, membership perks and ways to get involved. Whether you want to work on a car or just chat about the latest race, there’s a spot for you.
Safety is a huge part of the Kiwi racing culture. All major events follow strict guidelines, and many tracks offer free safety briefings for first‑timers. We keep you up‑to‑date on what gear you need, how to stay visible on the track and the best practices for spectators. Knowing the rules makes the experience more enjoyable for everyone.
Our site also tracks the latest news from the global stage that affects New Zealand fans. From driver transfers in the Supercars series to changes in international rally regulations, we explain how these moves impact local races. Stay ahead of the curve and be the friend who always knows the next big thing.
