Team Kiwi Racing is a V8 Supercar racing team that competes in the V8 Supercar series in Australia.
Although the majority of races in the V8 Supercar series are run in Australia, Team Kiwi Racing continue to be based in Auckland, New Zealand to remain true to their roots.
Since their conception, TKR have use Holden Commodores as their cars. However in August 2006 they announced that they would be switching to Ford Falcons from the start of the 2007 series. The currently run just one car in the championship.
During the 2006 Bathurst 1000 endurance race at Mount Panorama, driver Paul Radisich crashed at around 200kph head on into a tyre barrier, flipping the car on the roof. The roof had to be cut off to be able to get Radisich out and he was taken to hospital where he was in a serious but stable condition. The car was so badly damaged that it was written off and TKR will be unable to race in the next round at the Gold Coast unless they are given some sort of dispensation from AVESCO, the governing body of the V8 Supercars.
