Supercars will be returning to New Zealand for 2024, with Taupō hosting the upcoming season.

The Australian motor racing championship lost access to Pukekohe Park Raceway after the 2022 season, and the venue since reverted to a horse training facility.

Owner Tony Quinn is 'stoked' for the town of Taupō, as this presents the perfect opportunity for boosting tourism. 

"The main target audience for the event is selling tourism. We can showcase New Zealand far better at Taupo rather than Hampton Downs. To me, that's the biggest element of the gig."
