Kiwi motorsport diary – 28 Nov – Dec 1

All the pressure is on Liam Lawson this weekend at the Qatar Grand Prix after Red Bull Racing  Principle, Laurent Mekies, has revealed the team will announce its driver line-up for the 2026 season following this weekend’s race. It’s also the last round of the Supercars Championship in Adelaide. Broc Feeney, Chaz Mostert, Will Brown and Kai Allen are all still in contention for the title, but the highest placed Kiwi, Matt Payne is in fifth and too far off the leading four to be in with a chance. 

It is also the last round of the Porsche Carrera Cup Australia and the Super 2 series.
