All 24 Supercars will return to the streets of Taupō for the pre-event Track to Town journey.

Thousands of fans lined the streets to welcome the drivers to the inaugural event in 2024.

On April 10, the full fleet of Repco Supercars Championship will be making their way from the Taupō International Motorsport Park to Taupō's CBD by the lake.

The Track to Town will see all drivers take their Chevrolet Camaros and Ford Mustangs from the circuit on a 12km journey to the Roberts Street live site, the day before opening practice of the ITM Taupō Super440.

Supercars General Manager of Motorsport Tim Edwards said the Track to Town journey is an exciting project that brings the Supercars experience right to the heart of Taupō.

The ITM Taupō Super440 will see Supercars and various support categories including NZ Super V8s, NZ Central Muscle Cars and Toyota GAZOO Racing 86 Series NZ racing on the 3.32km International Circuit configuration of the venue over all three days of the event.

Kim Manunui

Hi, I’m Kim and I work with a great team to help individuals, as well as small and not so small businesses get their message, product and services to the world using digital media and creating wonderful websites that don’t cost the earth.

I was born in Canada, and grew up around Vancouver and the mountains of British Columbia. My love of pristine environments led me to New Zealand and eventually to the mountains, lakes and rivers of the central North Island which is home. My family’s heritage is here, and it’s from here that Korio traverses the planet.

The digital world is never static and neither are we.

And I say ‘we’ because I work with an awesome group of talented people who I gather together as required to complete a project.  Whatever your business, not-for-profit or individual needs are we gather the best team to get the job done.

Collaboratively we are creative, share sustainable values and work hard for great outcomes because that’s the buzz of satisfaction that drives us.

If you have an audience and market to reach, we can make that happen. Creative design, words that work and smart behind the scenes stuff that cuts through the online noise. We’ll design your website and then build it. We’ll manage the content as well as all your hosting needs. We can handle your online advertising so you get noticed,
and we’ll manage your social media presence so you get the clicks, likes and engagement to grow your business. All within the budget you set, because none of this needs to cost the earth.  And the job doesn’t stop when your website goes live. We are your virtual business partner.
