Andre Heimgartner: Kiwi Supercars driver ahead of the Taupo round, discusses the Ruapuna Park event

Supercars driver Andre Heimgartner is getting behind plans for a Supercars round to take place in Christchurch. 

Ruapuna Park's the likely candidate to join Taupo as the only New Zealand events on the calendar next year. 

Heimgartner's very familiar with the proposed venue. 

He told Mike Hosking it’s great for New Zealand motorsport. 

He says they’ve been longing for this for a while, and it’s great that they’ve finally decided to give it to them – plus, it’s great for the South Island fans.
