A Weekend to Remember: ITM Taupō Super 440 Delivers Three Days of Epic Action

What a weekend it was at the ITM Taupō Super 440! Over three thrilling days at the Taupō International Motorsport Park, a crowd of 51,454 fans came together to catch the very best of Supercars racing under perfect Autumn skies.

As naming rights sponsor, ITM is proud to have once again played a part in bringing Kiwis together for this celebration of motorsport. Kiwi drivers delivered standout performances, including Matt Payne’s pole position and race victories along with Ryan Wood’s first ever career podium finish.

In a moment that will go down in Supercars history, rising New Zealand star Payne etched his name into the record books by claiming the coveted Jason Richards Memorial Trophy.

Payne became just the seventh driver in history — and the third New Zealander — to lift the trophy, honouring the much-loved Kiwi racer.

The energy across the weekend was unmatched, from the roar of the engines to the roar of the crowd. Whether it was exploring the paddock to watching Kiwi drivers battle it out, every moment was filled with excitement.

At ITM, we're committed to supporting events that bring communities together and showcase the best of New Zealand. The ITM Taupō Super 440 is exactly that — a celebration of speed, spirit, and local pride.

A huge thank you to everyone who joined us. We’re already counting down to 2026 and can’t wait to do it all again.
