Repco parade to farewell Pukekohe

The iconic circuit will close its doors early next year making this weekend's Auckland SuperSprint the final time it will host Supercars.

To celebrate the venue's rich motor racing history, Supercars series sponsor Repco has put together the Farewell Pukekohe Parade.

The parade will feature 14 cars that have a connection to Kiwi motorsport and the 60-year history at Pukekohe Park.

That includes an ex-Denny Hulme Repco Brabham BT 16, one of Kiwi legend Kenny Smith's Formula 5000s, an ex-Hulme McLaren Can-Am car, and the Team New Zealand A1GP car.

The King of Pukekohe, Greg Murphy, will be represented in the parade by his NZ V8 SuperTourer title-winning VE Holden Commodore.

The parade will take place at 2:45pm local time on Saturday and 3:15pm local time on Sunday.
