Taupo Offroad Race Draws Record Field

• International teams head for Taupo

• Four previous winners among entry list

• Grudge match between leading unlimited-class teams

• New race cars make debut at event


The central North Island resort town of Taupo is cementing a global reputation as the home of one of the longest, fastest and toughest endurance races in the world.


Almost 100 offroad race teams from Australia, North America and New Zealand will arrive in the resort town in late August to contest the Asset Finance Taupo 1000, a two-day 1000 kilometre forest endurance race that has become the sport’s Australasian flagship event.


International teams from the USA and Australia head the strongest entry list for the in many years. Many in the sport are convinced this year’s race will be a record-breaker with 92 or more cars and trucks taking their place on the grid when the race starts.


Race organiser Tony Saelman says though records of entries in the first couple of events are not available, the 2011 entry is certainly the biggest in the years he has been involved in the race.


“We have the most volunteers, the most entries, the most international teams ever, and we will have the biggest pit lane village the race has ever seen. Support for the race has been amazing, both locally and from overseas.”


Australian teams heading for the race include regular visitors Tom and Roly Dixon, Tom driving the big Southern Cross Roly ran at the previous Taupo 1000 and Roly promising an all-new car to run in class one with a turbocharged Nissan V6. The car will have a silhouette resemblance to the new-shape VW Beetle and Dixon is planning a big future for it that may lead to an entirely new race category running within existing classes of the sport both in Australia and New Zealand.


High profile Ausie Brad Prout ran at the previous Taupo with Roly Dixon, but is bringing his own high-spec V8 race car over to run in class one.


From the USA comes ex-pat racer Mike Hughes, who is the new owner of the ex-Warren Arthur/Colin Sandford Ford F150 desert truck. Other North American teams are expected to have confirmed by early August including Jeremy Poleslider and Arturo Hernandez.
