NZ Endurance Championship
Official Series website: N/A
The NZ Endurance Championship features both some of the most impressive machinery from around the world as well as Kiwi ingenuity and combines it with the strategy and intensity of endurance racing. Contested across both the popular North and South Island Endurance Series’, both SIERDC & NIERDC have aligned their rules, regulations, and race formats to create the cohesive four-round NZ Endurance Championship.
Both clubs will run rounds in their respective island with competitors’ top two results from each island counting towards their NZ Endurance Championship points tally. Each Round will hold both Three and One Hour races.
