Motorsport Diary: Kiwis competing abroad this weekend

It’s a race weekend!

Liam Lawson returns to Formula 1 in what could be his last Formula 1 race in 2023, with Daniel Ricciardo expected to return from injury for the Qatar Grand Prix. The Japanese Grand Prix makes for much friendlier viewing times in New Zealand, meaning no tired faces around the office on Monday.

Reid Harker is also on the entry list for the final round of the GT World Challenge Asia at Sepang, while Rianna O’Meara-Hunt is back in the United States applying her trade in GT4 America.

Brendon Leitch will sit out this weekend’s Le Mans Cup round at Spa-Francorchamps.

While the overseas action slowly starts to wind down towards the end of the Northern Hemisphere’s summer, there’s still plenty to take in on our shores with this weekend’s action in New Zealand highlighted by the South Island Endurance Series at Teretonga and the highly anticipated Daybreaker Rally.

To see who is in action overseas, how you can follow, and at what times, see below!
