Mouthwatering support card for historic Highlands 6 Hour

by Velocity News

It’s going to be octane overload for racing fans at the forthcoming Highlands 6-Hour race weekend on November 3-5.
 
As well as a field of the latest state-of-the-art GT machinery and drivers, including Shane van Gisbergen, Jonny Reid, and rising Supercars star Ryan Wood, the support classes lined up for the meeting mean it’s a full weekend of action not to be missed.
 
Topping the bill is the world’s best muscle car racing category – the NAPA Central Muscle Cars – who will have the third round of their 2023-2024 Championship at the meeting.
 
Followed globally for the quality and quantity of the cars in its field, the grid includes all-time classics, including Mustangs, Camaros, Monzas, Toranos, Commodores, Falcons and much more.  The cars are prepared and presented to world-class standards with many boasting modern NASCAR-type engines pumping out more than 800 horsepower.
 
To get the adrenalin flowing for the big endurance race, there’s also a shorter One Hour mini enduro which has become a specialist event in New Zealand in recent years, having become a major part of both the North Island and South Island Endurance series. 
 
There’s an outstanding mix of cars with everything from home-built and engineer specials to V8s and both older and newer GT-type machinery. 
 
Completing the cast will be arguably the most action-packed racing series in the Southern Hemisphere, with the Aussie Racing Cars concluding their own 2023 Championship with a flyaway round to Highlands to be part of the show. It will be only the second time they have ever appeared at a New Zealand racetrack after appearing at the first Highlands 101 back in 2014.
 
The cars look like mini versions of classics like Commodores, Falcons, Mercedes and Camaros, but the pint-sized racers pack a mighty punch with high-powered motorcycle engines under their fibreglass body shells.
 
The action in the category is literally non-stop, and with cars being almost perfectly matched on performance, the racing is always nose-to-tail and pretty much side-by-side from the start to the chequered flag.
