Simon Evans (racing driver)

In 2012, the all-new V8SuperTourer category was launched and Evans secured an endurance drive with Kayne Scott for Farmer Racing Services.

Achieving nine wins from twelve races, it was a dominant display, and an eventual precursor for the NZ Touring Car Championship.

Following this season, Evans signed with Super Black Racing to contend the V8 Supercar Dunlop Series for 2015.

Other international campaigns included a guest drive in the Audi Sport TT Cup event at the Nürburgring in 2016, as well as a full-season stint in the Chinese-based FRD LMP3 Series.

After the V8SuperTourer category merged with the New Zealand V8s, the NZ Touring Car Championship was born.

Evans would contend the next two championships, with performances equally as dominant as what was demonstrated in the final V8SuperTourers season.
