The 2000 New Zealand Grand Prix event for open wheel racing cars was held at Pukekohe Park Raceway near Auckland on 2 December 2000.

The race was won by New Zealand driver Andy Booth driving a Reynard 95D belonging to the Arthur Abrahams-run NRC International.

Wills romped off the line into an early lead while Andy Booth passed Stevenson for second place on the opening lap.

Stevenson was forced to pit with car issues later in the race while Newton-John spun on the exit of the hairpin and found himself beached on the kerb.

This caught out a fast-approaching Halliday who spun exiting turn four in a bid to avoid crashing into the rear of Booth's car.
