Kiwi motorsport fans could get the announcement they have been waiting for on Friday.

Taupo looks set to hold an A1 Grand Prix event in January next year.

Motorsport journalist Sandy Myhre says weeks of discussions could come to a happy conclusion this week when A1’s David Clare visits.

Myhre says the chief operating officer is coming to New Zealand to meet and it could end up with the race being confirmed.

A clash with the national motor racing series round in Timaru was causing difficulties, but it appears common sense is about to prevail.
