New Zealand is home to world-class motorsport talent and it's been made even more clear what an outstanding breeding ground for talent our small island nation of 5 million has become.

Some of the biggest names in modern-day motorsport call New Zealand home with names such as Scott Dixon, Brendon Hartley, Scott McLaughlin, Shane van Gisbergen and Hayden Paddon just to name a few all proudly representing New Zealand and claiming championships and victories across the world's best motorsport championships on the world stage.

On Wednesday 20th July 2022, the motorsport fraternity in New Zealand learned of the devastating news that Pukekohe Park Raceway would cease all motorsport operations from April 2023 and therefore put an end to all racing at the iconic circuit. Since 1963, Pukekohe Park Raceway has become New Zealand's spiritual home of motorsport, and generations of motorsport fans have flocked to the circuit to watch motorsport at its best and we're now more than ever at risk of losing the legacy of this race track forever.

We're putting a call out to iRacing, the world's premier motorsports racing game to scan, capture and protect the legacy of this circuit by getting a virtual version of Pukekohe Park Raceway done for its platform. By doing so, Pukekohe Park Raceway will live on in the virtual world and be enjoyed for generations of motorsport fans via simulation racing and more importantly, keep an iconic piece of New Zealand motorsport history.
