As the series has grown, major international motorsport organisations have become involved.

Several teams now benefit from the involvement of Tom Walkinshaw Racing, Triple Eight Race Engineering and Prodrive.

In addition to regular appearances in New Zealand ( currently using the Hamilton Street Circuit ), the series ventured to China at the Shanghai International Circuit in 2005, since 2006 has raced at the Bahrain International Circuit and since 2010 has raced at the Yas Marina Circuit in Abu Dhabi.

In 2013, the series will add a race in the U. S. at the Circuit of the Americas near Austin, Texas.

The growth of the series has seen motorsport equal Rugby League as Australia's third most watched sport.
