About This Event

The New Zealand Superbike Championship opens its season at Levels Raceway in Timaru, with seven national classes on a club circuit that holds an FIA licence. It is the first of three rounds, and every round now has four races per class instead of three.

1What to Expect

A Thursday start: The meeting opens on Thursday 21 January with free practice and qualifying for each class. Spectator passes cover Friday and Saturday, the two race days.
Two races a day: Each race day starts with a 10 minute warm up, followed by two races per class.
Seven classes plus invited grids: Seven championship classes race, with invited support from the Superbike and Supersport Trophy, BEARS, Classics and the Carl Cox Cup.
The season opener: This is the first of three rounds in the series.

2Best Way to Experience It

Gold

Saturday's final races

Saturday has the last two races of the round for each class.

Silver

Friday's warm up and first races

Friday is the first race day, with the warm up and then two races per class.

Bronze

A South Island double

The NZ Superbike Grand Prix runs at Ruapuna in Christchurch a week later, on 30 and 31 January, so the first two rounds fit one trip south.
