We’ve got some world-class Kiwis competing at venues across the world this weekend, ensuring there’s plenty to follow.

Shane van Gisbergen returns for Round 10 of the Xfinity Series at Dover Motor Speedway in the United States. The four-strong Kiwi IndyCar contingent will be in action just a few states to the southwest in Alabama, as will Indy NXT star Callum Hedge.

Nick Cassidy and Mitch Evans also return to the streets of Monaco, where they achieved a famous Kiwi one-two in last year’s Monaco E-Prix.

Viewing times and information are below.

Sit back, relax, and enjoy the racing!

Shane van Gisbergen will be looking to bounce back from a heartbreaking finish at Talladega, where he ran out of fuel in an overtime restart from fourth.

The 1.03-mile (1.66-km) concrete oval, with 24 degrees of banking, is the next track for the Kiwi to debut at.

He sits 14th in the Driver’s Championship, 37 points outside the top ten.
