A Championship Final Near the Beach

For over 20 years, D1NZ has brought precision driving, noise, and unforgettable moments to fans across New Zealand – but there’s nothing quite like the Baypark Grand Final.

This ANZAC Weekend, we return to our biggest stage with a festival of motorsport, show cars, live entertainment, and championship glory. From the iconic Mount Cruise to the high-speed battles inside Baypark Stadium, the 2026 finale will be one for the history books.

Closed Pits

The driver pits are closed to the public at Mercury Baypark Stadium, except for those with a VIP Pass. However, we will have a similar set up to the previous year, where pits are set up in a 'U' shape, allowing the public to still have a look at the inside action. 

Driver Signing Session

As we do every year, there will be driver signing sessions in the Stadium Lounge for all fans. Times for these will be communicated prior to the event.

NOTE: Children aged under 15 need to be accompanied by an adult. Children must be supervised at all times. MOTOR RACING IS DANGEROUS AND SPECTATORS ATTENDING THIS EVENT DO SO ENTIRELY AT THEIR OWN RISK.
