What is Supercars?

Supercars is Australasia’s premier touring car series and it's coming to Ōtautahi Christchurch!

Drivers will battle it out on the iconic South Island circuit — led by Kiwi star Matt Payne, winner of the Jason Richards Memorial Trophy and now Bathurst 1000 champion.

The event promises high-octane action, fierce competition and an unforgettable experience.
