Taupō's hoping for a local economy rev up with the Supercars in town this weekend. 

It's the second year hosting the Taupō Super 440 – with 60-thousand people expected in town from around the country and Australia. 

Mayor David Trewavas told Andrew Dickens measurements done after last year's event showed a minimum of $20 million was pumped through the town. 

He's hoping to replicate that economic success.
