A big weekend for racing fans.

The New Zealand Grand Prix is kicking off at Otago’s Highland Motorsport – one of the only two national grand prix events currently not part of F1.

It’s the 70th edition of the race and also serves as the Grand Final of the Castrol Toyota Formula Regional Oceania Trophy.

V8 Supercar driver Ryan Wood is taking part this weekend, and he joined D'Arcy to discuss the race.

The race combines eight 1km bouts of running and eight workout stations, and participation has nearly doubled since it debuted in New Zealand last year – rising from 6000 to nearly 11,000 athletes.

Auckland FC’s patchy form has continued into 2026 with a draw to the Central Coast Mariners last week.

The game ended 2-2 after Auckland conceded a late goal.

They’ll be hoping to return to their winning ways this weekend when they cross the ditch to take on the Perth Glory at home.

Central midfielder Louis Verstraete joined D’Arcy Waldegrave to preview the match.
