This wonderful historic event.

This event is celebrating Jaguar & Daimler Marques for 2022 in 2023. Jaguar Clubs are being invited throughout New Zealand to display their vehicles and parade them on the track at the 6th Annual Historic GP. [Postponed Event in 2022]

The 2023 Taupo Historic Grand Prix will commemorate the Jaguar and Daimler marques as the event continues its tradition of celebrating a different car manufacturer each year.

Jaguar has tasted a variety of racing disciplines over its history, each to a degree of success. These include sportscars, Formula 1 and rallying.

Seven Le Mans victories over five decades of sportscar and endurance racing are a testament to the brand's success on the global racing scene.

Here in New Zealand, Jaguar started popping up at race meetings around the country in the late 1940s, mainly in the form of the XK120, and later the Mk 2.

When the Mk2 did work its way onto New Zealand race tracks, it would claim three successive New Zealand Saloon Car Championships in the hands of Ross Jensen (1961) and Ray Archibald ('62 and '63).

The 2023 Historic Grand Prix will be run over January 21-22.

Accommodation has been reserved at the Lakeland Resort - Taupo.
