Golden Homes North Island Endurance Series – Will the V8 Dominance continue at Pukekohe?
On Saturday, the second and final round of the 2020 Golden Homes North Island Endurance Series will take place at Pukekohe Park Raceway and for the first time in the series history, the full back straight will be in use.
Who will take out the 3 Hour Race? Will round 1 winners Glenn Smith and three-time Porsche Carrera Cup champion Chris van der Drift take the spoils or will the on form Aston Martin Vantage GT3 of Alex Riberas and Darren Kelly snatch the win? Anotherquestion still remains in the 1 Hour Race… will a V8 Powered race car win the Race at Pukekohe or will non V8 powered race car such as Porsche be able to break the dominance? Pukekohe hosted the first ever round of the Series back in 2014 where Simon Gilbertson won the race in his Porsche 997 however to this day, this has been the only time a non V8 powered race car has taken outright victory.
