YOU ASKED FOR IT… WE’VE DELIVERED 🔥

For the first time ever, Lucas Oil NZ Hydro Thunder goes NIGHT MODE.

Introducing Hydro Thunder Night Racing — Lake Taupō 2027

Under lights, in front of the Taupō Yacht Club, the lake will come alive like never before. A fully illuminated race course and the thunder of V8-powered GP Hydroplanes ripping through the darkness at full noise.

This isn’t just racing, this is next-level spectacle., this is full send under the lights

The fastest hydroplanes in the country, pushing the limit when visibility drops and the pressure rises, only the best will handle the heat when the sun goes down.

Lake Taupō. 2027. Night Racing.
This is one you do NOT want to miss.
