Sunday morning\u2019s 120km race at the ITM Taupo Super440 was cancelled due to the threat of Cyclone Vaianu.<\/p>\n

New Zealand fans will not miss any action, however, with that race added to the Christchurch Super440 at Ruapuna.<\/p>\n

Friday\u2019s program has been amended accordingly, with Supercars condensing its two 25-minute practice sessions into on 45-minute affair at 9:35am NZST.<\/p>\n

Qualifying for Race 1 will follow at 12:15pm NZST.<\/p>\n

That will use the two-part elimination format beginning with a 12-minute session before the top 10 go through to an eight-minute, all-in session to set the grid.<\/p>\n

Race 1 will get underway at 4:35pm NZST, taking in 37 laps.<\/p>\n
