V8 SuperTourers

The V8 Supertourers roar back in to the Hamilton & Waikato region as they once again take to the track in an action-packed weekend at Hampton Downs from 1-3 June. Sure to captivate spectators with the spine-tingling performances this is New Zealand’s newest and fastest touring car championship series.

Event Details:

The tour arose from the simply philosophy of using the best components and the best V8 designers, engineers and builders to create a new generation of future-proofed V8 touring cars.

A number of current V8 supercar drivers have been drawn by the 550 horsepower engines to take part in the championship. Greg Murphy, Craig Baird, John McIntrye, Cameron McConville, Kayne Scott, Andy Booth, Paul Manuell and nine more drivers are set to be on the grid for the first round.

This line-up of top drivers, with more than 100 national motorsport titles between them, means it will be a hard-fought battle for supremacy.

Cars for Champions

Hand-built seven litre engines and a 100kg weight advantage over the Australian supercar counterparts means these V8’s will be quick on any track. Purpose built chassis with controlled componentry throughout the race car will results in an even playing field as 16 cars take to the starting line.

A seven litre all alloy V8 engine, producing over 575 horse power, will propel these monsters up to 280kph to entertain the petrol head in all of us.
