Round 01: 9-12 January 2025

Taupo International Motorsport Park, Taupo

This 3.5km international circuit has proven a challenge for the TRS and A1GP when they ran there. The 830 metre downhill main straight will be one of the fastest in the series but the Turn 9/10 complex will be tight and slow. With elevation changes of 4-5 metres, the fast infield sections can be expected to be a challenge. The main straight is 17 metres wide before the final complex, which means there should be plenty of side by side action at maximum speed.

Round 02: 16-19 January 2025

Hampton Downs Motorsport Park, Hampton Downs
