NIERDC off to Taupo for round two

The North Island Endurance Series heads to Taupo Motorsport Park next weekend, the second of three rounds this season.

Once again, there will be three races: a one- two- and three-hour race.

The one-hour field is currently headed by Sam Collins, winner of the season-opener at Pukekohe earlier this month.

Collins’ closest challenger was John Midgley, racing a Ford SuperTourer.

There are five classes in the one-hour field and eligibility and rules can be found here.

The two-hour is a ‘clubman’ race. No GT3 or ‘open’ sportscars are eligible. Instead, the race caters for those who club racers looking for a bit of fun.

Drivers cannot exceed certain lap times. These times can be found here.

David Whitburn and Graham Ball won the two-hour at Pukekohe in a BMW E92 and lead the series.

They are pursued by a Seat Leon SuperCopa driven by Brendon Murphy and Brock Cooley.

The three-hour is considered the premiere race and attracts the fastest GT3 cars.

The season-opener had Audis, Mercedes and Lamborghini GT3 models race against each other, as well as an Aston Martin, McLaren and a Renault R.S 01.

Scattered through the field are several big-name drivers like Greg Murphy, Andrew Waite and Chris van der Drift.

Three-hour rules can be found here.

For those at the racetrack or wanting to stay up-to-date, the series uses ‘Team App’, which you can find here.

The Taupo weekend is on May 27-28.
