The V8SuperTourer Pukekohe 500 is a endurance motor racing event held for various touring car racing series since the 1980s. The race rose to international prominence in 1985 when linked with the Wellington 500 street race. The two races attracted Group A racing teams from Australia, Europe and Asia though until the end of the Group A era in the early 1990s.
The event was most recently held in 2012 as the Woodstock Pukekohe 500 at Pukekohe Park Raceway in Pukekohe, one of New Zealand's most historic race tracks. The meeting proved popular with large crowds attending. The event is a happy hunting ground for New Zealand driver Greg Murphy, winning two of the three held. Additionally Holden drivers won all 3 events.
