Future TA2 drivers got a taste of the action at Hampton Downs today.

As part of TA2 New Zealand's off-season Driver & Education Day, prospective drivers had the opportunity to learn what it takes to compete in one of New Zealand's fastest-growing race categories.

From understanding the cars and category structure to experiencing the performance of a TA2 machine firsthand, the day provided valuable insight into what racing in TA2 is all about.

With the 2026/2027 season on the horizon and more cars arriving in New Zealand, the future is looking bright for the category.

A great day at Hampton Downs helping drivers take the next step in their motorsport journey.

The Tony Quinn Foundation is excited to announce the launch of the TQF Development Driver Fund – expanding our support across development categories in the NextGen NZ Championship!

The expansion of funding follows confirmation that TQF's sponsorship of Formula Ford was no longer required following the category's signing of new major partner, Rodin Cars. TQF warmly welcomes Rodin's increased involvement and support of this important development category.

We've always believed development categories are vital pathways for emerging racing talent.

Rather than stepping back, the Foundation is stepping forward – broadening its support to help even more young Kiwi drivers.

The new fund will be open to drivers aged 20 and under competing in:

✔️ Formula Ford
✔️ Mazda
✔️ TA2
✔️ GT New Zealand

This complements our ongoing support of the Castrol Toyota Formula Regional Oceania Trophy ($70,000) and the Bridgestone GR86 Championship ($52,000).

Full eligibility criteria and application details will be announced soon.
