GT New Zealand opens their 2023 account this weekend at Highlands Park

The opening round of the GT New Zealand Series from Highlands Park opens their 2023 season account this weekend with three races featuring last season’s runner up, Stephen Harrison and his Race Lab prepared Aston Martin Racing Vantage GT8R.

Another healthy inter class grid helps to kick off the four round domestic series with Harrison’s car amongst the fifteen GT4 and eight Open class cars that will make up this weekend’s grid.

Like last season, the race format will be two thirty-minute sprint races followed by one hour long, pit stop punctuated race to end with a ready reckoner balance of performance process being in place per race with their minimum pit stop time during race three being dependent upon how well they have done so far.

Last season, Harrison narrowly missed out on the GT4 title to Nigel Cromie and his McLaren 570s after a post-race time penalty eventually dropped him behind the McLaren driver at the end.

This year maybe different!
