New Zealand Motorsports – Your Fast‑Lane Hub for Kiwi Racing

If you love the roar of engines and the thrill of tight corners, New Zealand’s racing scene has plenty to offer. From street‑legal sprints in Auckland to high‑speed drag strips in Hamilton, the country blends rugged scenery with world‑class talent. At Revved Racing Rides we’ve gathered the most recent race reports, upcoming event calendars, and insider tips so you never miss a beat.

Top New Zealand Racing Series

Every year the NZ Touring Car Championship draws big‑name drivers and local heroes alike. The cars are heavily modified, the battles are close, and the fans pack the grandstands at Pukekohe Motor Raceway. Another fan favourite is the New Zealand Rally Championship, where crews tackle forest tracks, mountain passes, and coastal roads that test both skill and stamina. If you prefer two‑wheel action, the NZ Superbike Series runs on circuits such as Manfeild and Taupo, delivering high‑octane adrenaline for riders and spectators.

Keep an eye on the New Zealand Endurance Cup as well. Teams run 24‑hour marathons at the circuit in Palmerston North, mixing professional drivers with local amateurs. The endurance format highlights strategy, pit‑stop precision, and night‑time driving—perfect for anyone fascinated by the tactical side of motorsport.

Rising Kiwi Talent to Watch

New Zealand is producing a fresh wave of talent that’s getting noticed overseas. Ryder Wilson is a teenage driver who recently claimed podium finishes in the Australian Super2 Series, and his sharp cornering has fans buzzing about a future Formula One seat. On the bike, Lena Thompson earned a wildcard entry to the Moto2 race in Wellington, showing impressive lap times against seasoned pros.

Don’t overlook the next‑generation rally stars either. James “Jazzy” Nair won the junior class at the 2024 Rally New Zealand, impressing with his smooth handling on gravel stages. These up‑and‑coming racers often train on local tracks before stepping onto the global stage, making their home events a great place to spot future stars early.

For fans who want to get involved, many clubs offer driver schools, track days, and apprenticeship programs. The Auckland Motor Club runs a weekend “Learn to Race” course that covers everything from car setup to racecraft. Signing up gives you hands‑on experience and a chance to meet the Kiwi drivers you read about.
