The Australian-based Supercars have held championship rounds in New Zealand since 2001, at Pukekohe Park Raceway (2001–07, 2013–19 and 2022) and Hamilton Street Circuit (2008–12).[2] The Pukekohe circuit closed in early 2023, with the last Supercars event held in 2022.[3] In August 2023, it was announced that the Supercars New Zealand round would move to Taupō in 2024, with an April date later confirmed.[1][4]
The driver who scores the most points across all races during the weekend receives the Jason Richards Memorial Trophy. The trophy was introduced at the 2013 Auckland SuperSprint event in honour of Jason Richards, a one-time New Zealand Supercars race winner and Supercars Hall of Fame member who died of cancer in 2011, and continued to this event.[5]
