Kiwi legends, historic touring cars locked in for Christchurch
Greg Murphy, Steven Richards and Paul Radisich will take part
Supercars to make debut in Christchurch on April 17-19
A star-studded field of former Kiwi Supercars stars and historic touring cars have been locked in for the upcoming ITM Christchurch Super 440.
The Ruapuna venue will come to life with Supercars on April 17-19, concluding the inaugural ITM NZ Double Header.
Confirmed on the Supercars support card is the John Fairhall Historic Touring Cars category, with 38 storied cars secured for the event.
Included in the field are eight Group A Ford Sierras, while legendary Kiwi racers Greg Murphy, Steven Richards and Paul Radisich will also take part.
Murphy was recently confirmed in a cameo, while five-time Bathurst winner Richards and the popular Radisich will also hit the track.
The weekend will also see the triumphant return of the Shell Sierra — dubbed DJR6 — which was badly burst last year.
DJR6 — which will be driven by Lance Coupland — was burnt at Teretonga at the George Begg Festival, and has been restored after the fire incident.
All up, 10 different marques will be represented: BMW, Ford, Nissan, Holden, Rover, Mercedes-Benz, Volvo, Honda, Jaguar and Alfa Romeo.
Track action in Christchurch commences on Friday April 17. Tickets for both New Zealand events are on sale now.
