The New Zealand Touring Cars Championship, currently known commercially as the Racer Products V8s, is a motorsport category based in New Zealand. MotorSport New Zealand, the country's governing body for motorsport, awarded the championship title status to this touring car racing category in 1996.

For years following 1996, drivers and teams across New Zealand competed in what was then considered the nation's premier motorsport category. However, in 2020, MotorSport New Zealand withdrew the championship title status. The title was subsequently awarded to the new TCR New Zealand Series.
