Kiwi drivers take centre stage in Supercars documentary ‘Road to Taupō’

Supercars has announced a two-part documentary series, ‘Road to Taupo, powered by Repco, ‘ that will launch online this weekend. The series will follow all five Kiwi drivers.

The documentary follows the journeys of rookies Ryan Wood and Jaxon Evans, Adelaide 500 race winner Matt Payne, Bathurst 1000 winner Richie Stanaway and Brad Jones Racing’s Andre Heimgartner as they prepare for next weekend’s ITM Taupo Super400.

Episode 1 will be released at 8 pm this evening (NZ time) on the Supercars website and YouTube channel before Episode 2 on Sunday at the same time.

An official trailer of the series was released on Friday and can be viewed below.

Supercars Head of Broadcast Nathan Prendergast said: “It’s incredible to have such a strong representation of New Zealand drivers in the 2024 Repco Supercars Championship.

“We have tracked the five fast Kiwis across the start of the season as they prepare to race on home soil in front of a packed house in Taupō.

“We delve into the close personal bonds of friendship and family life and understand the drive to win on home soil. This mini-doc is a great insight into the anticipation of this inaugural event.”

Repco Head of Sponsorship Mitch Wiley said: “We’re thrilled to be supporting the documentary series, Road to Taupō.

“This series not only celebrates the incredible talent of Supercars’ five New Zealand drivers but also provides fans with a unique behind-the-scenes look at their journey so far in the 2024 Repco Supercars Championship.

“At Repco, we are proud to be part of showcasing the dedication, passion, and camaraderie that is pushing these five drivers. We can’t wait to see who comes out on top at the first-ever event in Taupō next week.”

Produced by Supercars and AirTime Media, the series of two 20-minute episodes offers viewers an exclusive glimpse into the behind-the-scenes action of New Zealand’s Supercars’ talent, who have been eyeing off the Taupō round since it was first announced in 2023.

The first episode covers Wood’s maiden Supercars test at Winton, alongside insights into the dynamic longtime friendship between youngsters Payne and Wood. It also features drivers’ dramas at the season-opening Thrifty Bathurst 500 and never-before-seen footage of what Chaz Mostert said to Payne after their crash at the Melbourne SuperSprint last month.

General Admission and Grand Stand tickets remain available for Friday’s action, but Saturday and Sunday’s allocations have sold out.
