After an electrifying inaugural season, the SP Tools TA2 NZ Championship has not only met but exceeded all expectations, delivering some of the most thrilling and competitive controlled V8 Saloon Car Racing New Zealand has witnessed in years. This is motorsport where raw driver skill takes centre stage.
At the heart of the action are purpose-built, modern-day V8 race cars, meticulously designed by Howe Racing in the USA. These machines are based on iconic American muscle—the Ford Mustang, Chevrolet Camaro, and Dodge Challenger—all powered by identical, controlled LS3 engines, gearboxes, drivetrains, and suspension systems. This strict parity ensures incredibly close racing, making every overtake and every battle a testament to pure talent.
TA2 is rapidly becoming the fastest-growing controlled V8 category in Australasia, boasting over 160 cars competing across both Australia and New Zealand. Imagine the thunderous roar of 20 American V8s, the spectacle of controlled oversteer, and relentless wheel-to-wheel action that will keep you on the edge of your seat. The competition is fierce, with every driver vying for the ultimate prize: to be crowned the TA2 NZ MotorSport New Zealand Champion, or the prestigious TA2 Masters Champion for drivers over 50.
