Team Kiwi Racing have finished their new workshop and race headquarters they have built in Hamilton just in time for Christmas.

The Kiwi based V8 Supercar franchise moved from Auckland to Hamilton in the middle of the year and have just finished building their new purpose-built facility in Te Rapa.

“The new facility is all but complete which is a great relief and can now be opened to the public, owner David John said.

“We have many of the race cars TKR have campaigned here on show, including our first ever race car being the Championship winning TKR Pit Stop Nissan Primera and at the other end of the spectrum, the Holden V8 Supercar that was written off at Bathurst last year along with our Ford BF V8 Supercar plus plenty of other memorabilia to view.

“This new facility will provide the chance for the public to see the operation up close, see what TKR has achieved and opportunities it has provided over the years and meet with the teams management one on one.”

“We will also have a full merchandise store on site that will allow for the public to come on in see the cars, grad a light refreshment and pickup the latest TKR official merchandise at the same time”

“We are thrilled to finally have our base operational. We are looking forward confidently to the 2008 season which is only just over eight weeks away, which is the shortest post-season break that we can remember.”

“Most importantly we can not wait till the Hamilton round of the Australian V8 Supercar Championship in March 2008 where we will get the opportunity to rollout the TKR All Black machine on home soil not only against all the big budget Aussie teams but do so in-front of our home crowd.”

The new TKR facility in Hamilton will be open on Saturdays and Sundays from 10am until 4pm at Team Kiwi Racing, 677 Te Rapa Rd, Hamilton Tel 021 636 877.
