It’s time to go racing!

Things are quieter again this weekend as the Northern Hemisphere heads into colder months, but there are still several Kiwis proudly flying the New Zealand flag abroad.

While Liam Lawson is absent from the United States Grand Prix grid, there will still be a Kiwi presence in the paddock at Circuit of the Americas, with Ryan Yardley competing in the Porsche Carrera Cup North America.

Brendon Leitch also concludes his 2023 Le Mans Cup duties at Portimao, while Chris van der Drift returns to China to round out his Porsche Carerra Cup Asia season.

Jaxon Evans’s team, Huber Racing, have withdrawn their car from the ADAC GT Masters.

See below for all you need to know, including times and how to watch.

Three-time Porsche Carrera Cup Asia champion Chris van der Drift will be in action for the series’ final round in Shanghai.

Van der Drift is still in contention for the title, currently sitting third, but will need other results to fall in his favour should he emerge victorious.

Florian Lattore leads van der Drift by 37 points in the standings, with a maximum of 50 available for the round. Kailuo Luo, second in the standings, holds a five-point advantage over the Kiwi.
