Timperley will campaign a Ford Falcon, which was previously raced by Wellington driver Brock Cooley, who used the car to win the 2015/16 class two championship.
Prior to the season start, Timperley has undertaken an extensive testing programme, learning his new car at a number of circuits, which the championship visits.
"Testing so far has gone extremely well - Surprisingly well! The car took a lot to adapt to after racing the RX7 but with some fantastic driver coaching and a well setup car, I am feeling very confident in it having tested at Pukekohe, Taupo and Manfeild."
"I have raced at all the North Island tracks and have been around Ruapuna a few times open testing a road car. So just leaves me to learn Teretonga but also Hampton Downs is my favourite and a circuit I enjoy."
"The car is good, Brock Cooley demonstrated that when he raced it, so there is no reason why we can't do well."
Round one of the BNT NZ Touring Car Championship gets underway at Pukekohe November 3-5.
