Gun New Zealand driver Brendon Hartley is expecting a few scary moments in this weekend's Le Mans 24-hour endurance race.

Sixty two cars in three different categories will start the race and with different driving abilities and slower cars scattered around the 13.6 kilometre circuit, Hartley says collisions are top of mind at every turn.

A three-time winner in eleven starts in the world-famous race, Hartley drove his Toyota Hybrid to the fastest time in practice.

Earl Bamber is the other Kiwi in the Hypercar line-up.

Matches in rugby's National Provincial Championship are on track to appear on a free-to-air platform.

As Sky and New Zealand Rugby near renewal of their broadcast contract - the Herald reports agreement has all but been reached that TVNZ Plus will show live NPC games in 2026.

The deal being worked on between Sky and TVNZ would see matches split across the two networks - both screening a mix of live, delayed live and highlights.

It's understood up to three lives games a week will end up on TVNZ Plus.

The discussions come as NZR also considers the format of the provincial competition.
