Defending champion Peter Bengston is returning to Rotorua this year to try and claim back-to-back titles at the World 240s Superstock Championships.

Thousands of fans turned out to watch the racing last year and a big crowd is expected again this weekend.

The format of the feature event tomorrow will include three races, with the top ranked driver after those three races taking home the title.
