If you’re a motorsport fan who likes to hear engines roar by day and kick back with a cold one by night — Taupō is your dream weekend. And if you're rolling in with your own bed, kitchen, and bathroom on four wheels? Even better.
Taupō Supercars has become New Zealand’s must-attend motorsport moment — and doing it by motorhome is the smartest, most comfortable, and most fun way to experience the action.
The Track, the Town, and the Vibe
Set at the Taupō International Motorsport Park, this Supercars round brings high-speed drama, stacked grids, and the electric atmosphere of touring car racing to the heart of the North Island. The venue is world-class — fast straights, tight turns, excellent viewing — and just minutes from the town of Taupō.
But here’s the catch: when thousands of fans pour in for the weekend, nearby accommodation disappears fast. Hotels fill, motels surge in price, and Airbnbs get snapped up before you can say pole position. Unless, of course, you’ve brought your own accommodation with you.
Why a Motorhome is a Game-Changer
Let’s be honest — racing weekends are full-on. Early starts, long days, heaps of walking, and a lot of gear. A motorhome gives you:
- A real bed to crash in after qualifying or race day
- Your own fridge, food, and drinks (no more $6 coffees)
- A bathroom you don’t need to queue for
- Trackside access — park up and walk to the stands
- A base for your crew to chill between races
It’s more than just a place to sleep — it’s your pit garage, hangout zone, and refuelling station in one.
