Motorsport Diary: Kiwis racing overseas this weekend

The 2024 season continues to wrap up overseas, with Supercars and the Porsche Carrera Cup Australia concluding their campaigns in Adelaide this weekend.

No fewer than seven Kiwis will take to the famed street circuit, with Supercars stars Andre Heimgartner, Matt Payne, Richie Stanaway, Ryan Wood, and Jaxon Evans on the main card and Carrera Cup drivers Marco Giltrap and Fabian Coulthard competing in the supports.

Racing at the pop-up Speedway in the City nearby is Michael Pickens, who will compete against a star studded field for a share of a record A$126,000 prize pool. The main Sprintcar card is on Friday from 8.50 pm NZST and can be watched via a paid stream on Clay Per View.

Further afield, Brendon Leitch has returned to Europe to join Anthony McIntosh at Leipert Motorsport in the Pro-AM class of the Lamborghini Super Trofeo Europe finale and World Finals in Spain.

The action continues to wind down over the coming weeks, but the New Zealand summer starts to ramp up, with the premiere race series, the NextGen New Zealand Championship, beginning next weekend in Taupo.

For now, sit back and enjoy the action!
