Fantastic results for a newcomer to the series. Stephen works in commercial property for local New Plymouth firm, KCL Property. Stephen enjoys all aspects of motorsport and is looking forward to recontesting this exciting series. ABOUT GTRNZ GTRNZ promotes the kind of racing that has been the back bone of Kiwi Motorsport since the beginning. Cars from international series like US Transam, Aussie V8 Supercars, British & European series combined with locally built specials. No restrictions! Spaceframes, turbos, V8s and Rotaries whatever you need to go FAST! All together in one racing series for the first time. And not just one new class. There are three classes racing at each meeting split into two races. One for the GT1 and GT2 New Zealand Racing Series and one for the NZGT Racing Series. The classes are determined based on performance (lap-times) with reverse grids and handicaps thrown in to make sure the racing is fast and furious.
