It’s time for the weekend!

It’s a relatively quieter three-day stretch overseas this time around, with Brendon Leitch and Earl Bamber flying the Kiwi flag in the 4 Hours of Abu Dhabi.

Things begin to ramp up next weekend, with the Bathurst 12 Hour and Shane van Gisbergen’s ARCA and Xfinity Series outings set to keep us busy.

On New Zealand shores, the Super Sprint Motorsport New Zealand Championship is visiting Ruapuna, headlined with the fourth round of the Toyota Formula Regional Oceania Championship. Further south, there’s also the renowned Burt Munro challenge in Southland.

For all the information you need on how to watch Bamber and Leitch, see below!
