THIS weekend’s Taupō Historic GP at Taupō International Motorsport Park is set to be broadcast to viewers on both sides of the Tasman.
The event is the second round of the Super Sprint MotorSport NZ Championship and will host the opening round of the Castrol Toyota Formula Regional Oceania Championship (CTFROC) as part of a unique modern/historic flavoured race meeting.
There’s plenty of star power at the event too with Greg Murphy, Craig Lowndes, Steve Richards and Jack Perkins all appearing along with some special race cars, including the 2003 Bathurst 24 Hour-winning Monaro, 1993 Bathurst 1000-winning Castrol Commodore and 1990 Australian Touring Car Championship-winning Skyline.
Coverage of the event will air in New Zealand on SKY Sport and in Australia on FOX Sports.
The telecast runs on both days from 10am to 5pm New Zealand time, therefore 8am to 3pm AEDT time.
The event is also a unique celebration of Trans-Tasman Holden history and will feature a ‘Holden All-Comers’ race open to all Holden race cars with a homologated roll cage and logbook.
Also set to appear are Historic Touring Cars NZ, Historic Sports Sedans, Historic Saloons, Sports and GTs, Formula 5000, Formula Open NZ and Formula Junior/F3/Historic Formula Ford.
