Supercars organisers have thanked New Zealand fans and partners for their support of the 2026 ITM Taupō Super 440 but also announced reduced attendance.
They say just under 30,000 people attended Taupō International Motorsport Park over Friday and Saturday (April 10-11) despite citing “many challenges.”
“This included the unfortunate and unprecedented decision to cancel all Sunday racing, due to weather forecasts, safety-first concerns and advice of a state of local emergency,” Supercars said in a website news release.
Other difficulties were caused by the global fuel crisis, for fans travelling to events.
