Supercars Christchurch guide

Supercars Christchurch 2027

These details are from the Supercars website when we checked in November 2026.

• Dates: Friday 7 to Sunday 9 May 2027.
• Where: Ruapuna Raceway, in Templeton on the western edge of Christchurch.
• What's on: three days of Supercars racing, with family entertainment and driver signing sessions. A Paddock Pass gives you a look behind the scenes.
• Tickets: General Admission or Grandstand. Children 12 and under get in free with a paying adult. Tickets were not on sale yet when we checked.
• Last year: the first Christchurch round, in April 2026, sold out on the Saturday and the Sunday.
• The next weekend: Supercars races at Taupō, in the North Island, from 14 to 16 May 2027, so some fans see both.

See the Supercars website for tickets and the race schedule.
