Kiwis racing overseas this weekend (January 12 to 14, 2024)

It’s finally here. We have our first race weekend of Kiwis racing overseas for 2024.

The year shakes up to be a massive one for New Zealanders overseas, with the calendar showing there are international events featuring at least one Kiwi right up until the last week of November. That’s before all driver announcements have even been made!

We begin to work into the year with Nick Cassidy and Mitch Evans’s highly-anticipated Formula E season opener in Mexico, the two now running as teammates for Jaguar TCS Racing.

We’re treated to some favourable viewing times for this one, with Sky’s coverage of the E-Prix beginning at 8.00 am on Sunday.
