Rollinson joins for TCR New Zealand’s inaugural season

One of New Zealand’s most versatile drivers in recent times, Gene Rollinson, has been confirmed as the first entry in the 2021 TCR New Zealand championship.
Rollinson will join the grid in a Racer Products sponsored Hyundai i30 N. The Aucklander has driven a wide range of cars in his career, including Supertourers, Supercars, NZV8s, V8 Utes and GT3 spec cars.

“I’m really excited to be joining the TCR NZ Championship,” said Rollinson. “TCR is a well-known global formula that is growing even bigger at a fast pace so it will be very cool to be a part of that.”
“The TCR cars are pretty awesome, whilst they drive from the front wheels and don’t have a lot of horsepower, they’ve got big brakes and some aero which makes them really fun to hustle and are as quick as most GT cars,” Rollinson added. 

The TCR New Zealand Championship will commence in Timaru on March 5/6. Following the series opener, the championship will venture to Teretonga Park on March 20/21 and Highlands Motorsport Park on April 23/24.
