The most coveted crown in New Zealand motorsport is on the line this weekend.  

Highlands is hosting the 70th edition of the NZ Grand Prix, which is running under the new NextGen NZ Championship banner 

And the 2024 winner, 20-year-old Liam Sceats, has been handed a last-minute wildcard into the field.  

The championship has been running for the last three weekends, but he told Mike Hosking he’s only jumping in for this one.  

Sceats says it’s not going to be easy jumping in at this stage, but he’s spent two years in these cars and won in 2024 on this exact track, so he’s feeling confident.
