The second round was held a week later at Pukekohe.
The TWR Rover worked much better on the fast flowing Pukekohe layout and Walkinshaw took pole ahead of Crichton, Sytner, Johnson and Baigent.
The Volvo had the wrong suspension settings and gearing for Pukekohe and could only manage to qualify 6th fastest, but at least it was ahead of the Brock/Perkins Commodore, which was only 7th. Brock and Perkins battled engine dramas throughout the series, but at least the two races served as a good extended test session for the team for the coming ATCC races.

The race itself proved provided a great battle between the TWR Rover and the JPS BMW with the BMW just edging the Rover at the flag.
The Baigent/Lowe BMW was third and the Volvo made it home in fourth.
The amazing little Corolla of Adams and Woolf took fifth.

With a first and a second, Crichton and Wilkinson won the series.
