TradeZone GTRNZ is back to Manfeild for the first time this season and its bringing two superb grids of racing cars.
Around 20 cars will line up for the epic GT1/GT2 races, with the pick of the crop being the two amazing Crawford Daytona Prototypes of John De Veth and Adam Newell. De Veth is on a roll at the moment having won the North Island Endurance One Hour series and won the three hour race last weekend, and he’ll be going great guns in his Chevy powered car this weekend. There’s no question is going to be tougher than normal, however, as a newly supercharged Ford powered car of Newell will definitely be cutting its best ever laps of the North Waikato circuit.
There’s an interesting array of machines in GT2 as well, with V8, four cylinder, turbocharged and rotary powered machines all in the mix.
GTRNZ’s GT3 and GT4 grid has been enjoying a resurgence in recent events and it continues for this season with entries regularly exceeding 30 cars.
All the GT3 and GT4 regulars are there such as Hayden Gare in his monster Mini plus there are nine bike-powered Starcars running including one for former V8 racer and V8 ute champion Richard Moore.
Five of the six races over the weekend will be streamed LIVE on Spark Sport if you’re not able to make it to the track.
