After the success of the NZ Stockcar Championships to round off 2011, the Rotorua Stockcar Club will now focus on what's becoming a major speedway event.

The NZ Welding School 2012 World Invitation Superstock Championships - otherwise known as the World 240s - gets under way in less than a week, with some of the best drivers from New Zealand and the UK looking to take part in the two-day event.

Palmerston North's Peter Rees will return to SG Equipment Paradise Valley Raceway on January 14, just two weeks after winning his fourth stockcar championship on the same track, and he will look to defend his World 240s title.

Rees and current 1NZ Dale Ewers are the only two New Zealand drivers to have pre-qualified for Saturday's final races.

But all the action begins on Friday night as more than 50 Superstock racers compete for the remaining spots in the finals.

Both nights will feature a range of support races.

The stocks will be supported by a Mini-Sprint Grand Prix featuring drivers from around the North Island, and the Bay of Plenty Street Stock and Stockcar Championships.

Entry prices for January 13: Adults $20, children $10, family $50 practice from 4pm.
