Round 5 of the NZ Sports Car Racing Championship was held over the weekend at the NZIGP Spirit of Anzac meeting at Taupō International Motorsport Park.
In a combined field of 18 cars alongside Formula Racing NZ open wheelers, the fastest car of the weekend was Tim Edgell in the Albany ITM Radical SR10, taking out 3 wins from 3 starts across the two days of racing.
Tim also lowered the NZ Sportscars track record in Race 2 with a sizzling 1:24 lap time around the demanding Taupō circuit 😮💨
Radical cars dominated the NZ Sportscars Open Class, filling the top four positions. Steve Sharp finished 2nd, our Aussie visitor Matt Powell came home in 3rd, and Tony Hembrow secured 4th in his Radical SR8.
We now look ahead to Round 6, the final round of the 2025/26 series, at Hampton Downs Motorsport Park on May 16–17, for an exciting finish to what has been a fantastic season 🎉🏁
