This may be a tad late as i only just found out about it myself..but if you have Pay Tv and also recieve C7 sports then check out the Liqour king 500 LIVE today (sunday) from 3pm.

New Zealands biggest touring car race with a mixture of supertourers and V8's..not quite V8 supercars but still some very impressive vehichles.

Paul Radisich and Paul morris have headed over to take part and there is also a host of Nz stars such as Craig baird , Ashley Stichbury and Jason richards are also competeting.

Hope its a good one.

Can anyone tell me the results of the NZ race, or tell me where I can find them online? Cheers

If you can find ANY race results from New Zealand on the net you are going to be extremely lucky.

They only started using electronic timing last year - and then with a system that was phased out by AMB over 3 years ago!

I havent finished watching it as yet ..but I know who won .

it was Team Kiwi ...what an effort ..one week racing 1000kms at bathurst and then one week later turning around to prepare 2 Nissan primeras for a 500 km race in Nz ..really top effort ...it wasnt Angus Fogg/Jason Richards who took the win either ..it was their team mates ..whos names escape me right now...possibly John mcPherson and someone else ..something like that anyway ...sorry

not a bad race but not the most exciting either ..maybe with the inrtoduction of newer machinery things will get better ..but a promising series in the making.

dont know about any on line info either .sorry again

Those of you who have been paying out on V8 Supercars and Channel 10 should watch this race from NZ and see just how lucky we are.

Even the Procar people look more professional than this.

This is like a TOCA meeting but people actually show up to race.

I think the best thing was the motor up commodore ...very nice..didnt think much of the track ..would have been better at Pukekohe (or however ya spell it)

give them a few years they maybe alot more professional ..they really dont have the funding us Aussies do and some of the cars did look quite good ..but at least it filled in an arvo for me
