$21m Boost for NZ Visitor Economy from Supercars Double Header
The Repco Supercars Championship's first-ever ITM New Zealand Double Header generated $21.4 million in visitor expenditure and attracted thousands of fans across both the North and South Islands.
The event, which took place over two weekends at Taupō International Motorsport Park and Christchurch's Ruapuna Raceway, drew around 3000 international visitors who spent approximately $9.3 million during their stay.
SUPERCARS executive chairman Barclay Nettlefold said the results validated the vision behind creating the championship's first New Zealand double header.
