The battle for supremacy in the New Zealand TA2 category heats up this weekend as Tyler Cheney prepares to tackle the technical corners of Taupo Motorsport Park behind the wheel of a striking green and gold Ford Mustang.
Cheney forms part of a potent three-driver Australian contingent crossing the Tasman Sea to challenge local heroes. He will share the track alongside fellow compatriots Jarrod Hughes and Declan Fraser, with all three drivers trusting the proven pace of Ford machinery.
This weekend marks a welcome return for Cheney to the North Island venue, having previously tasted action at Taupo aboard a Dodge Challenger during the Supercars support bill. Backed by HCC Distribution—the official TA2 and Trans Am supplier and service partner in Australia—the stage is set for a breakthrough performance.

However, the visiting contingent faces a formidable task at the head of the standings. The championship is currently led by 19-year-old rising star Chris White, who successfully transitioned into the category after claiming the GR86 Championship crown.
Action across the weekend features a 17-car grid battling through a demanding triple-header format. Competitors will face a pair of intense 10-lap sprint races on Saturday before culminating in a fiercely contested 12-lap feature race.
