Welcome to the official home of the MotorSport New Zealand Race Championships. The Premier Race Championship Series runs the length of the country so all New Zealanders can have access to a major motorsport event near them each summer.
The 2012/13 season calendar saw the Premier Race Championship Series travelling nationwide and visiting Teretonga Park in Invercargill (January 2013), Timaru International Motor Raceway (January 2013), Taupo Motorsport Park (January 2013), Hampton Downs in the Waikato (February 2013), Manfeild Circuit near Palmerston North (February 2013), Taupo Motorsport Park (March 2013) and finishing at Pukekohe Park Raceway south of Auckland at the V8 Supercar event (April 2013).
Each round was made up of a unique set of classes... NZV8s, Toyota Racing Series, Formula Ford, Super Trucks & Sports and Production GT at the first two South Island events. Toyota Racing Series then had Taupo followed by Hampton Downs where Formula Ford also featured. In February's Manfeild round we had NZV8s, Toyota Racing Series, Formula Ford & Endurance Racing. The Taupo event in March had NZV8s, Formula Ford & Endurance Racing. Additional race classes were also thrown in along the way for something different to watch!
