Super Lap

In New Zealand, the first NZ Performance Car Super Lap was held in April 2007 at Taupo Motorsport Park.

Originating in Japan—where such events are often called Tuner Battles because of competition between "tuning houses"—the style of racing has been adopted in the UK,[3] US, and Australia.

The Unlimited class (introduced for Super Lap 2008 at Taupo Motorsport Park) allows full competition cars—those not road-registered but race-ready—to compete.

The timer is stopped when the start-finish line is crossed at the end of the flying lap, and the competitor performs and in-lap, returning to the pits.

In 2016 the format slightly changed and the use of a full slick tyre was banned from use in the New Zealand superlap series and will continue forward using a d.o.t semi slick tyre like the z221s by Hankook or the A050 by Yokohama for e.g. this would now align New Zealand with the rest of the world in the time attack / super lap format and continue to grow alongside the rest of the globe.
