More Supercars for New Zealand

Published: 23 May 2025

The Government is investing $5.9 million from the Major Events Fund to support Supercars events in both Taupō and Christchurch for the next 3 years.

The 2024 Taupō Supercars generated significant economic and tourism benefits for the region and New Zealand with more than 3,300 international visitors attending and spending more than $5.2 million while here. 

Having consecutive events in Taupō and Christchurch will allow international visitors to extend their stay in New Zealand, supporting tourism in our regions.
