A mechanical failure may have contributed to a fatal motorcycle crash at Pukekohe Park raceway this morning.
Two motorcyclists, who have yet to be named, were killed after they collided on the back straight in a race about 11am.
Emergency services were on the scene immediately but could not do anything for the riders.
Police spokeswoman Darragh O'Riordan said early estimates were that one of the motorcyclists was travelling about 260kmh when the crash occurred.
"It seems that the crash happened when one of the racers struck the other from behind," she told NZPA.
"We believe that the bike in front was slowing and may have had a mechanical failure, but we don't know for sure at this stage."
The motorcyclists were competing at a meeting organised by the Auckland Motorcycling Club which included the fifth round of the New Zealand Superbike Road Race Championship.
