The success of Supercars' first double header weekend is being hailed, despite one day being lost due to a major storm.
The two events generated more than $21 million in visitor spend, attracting 95 thousand petrol heads across Taupo Park one weekend and Christchurch the following one.
A full day of racing was cancelled in Taupo, due to Cyclone Vaianu.
