If thats run anti clockwise.... the first 1/2 a lap will be great but 2nd half!!!!!!
90 deg left will be a late brakers dream (T1) especially after a long run down 2 straights and a fast looking left sweeper.

The land it's on is dead flat so I am guessing the track will be too.

Is this really happening? I've seen various comments over time about a new track and then lots of poo-pooing... If it is - Yeeha! Cherries, Apricots, sun, hot track and no bastards moaning about noise anywhere nearby! Perfect!

Yep ... it is really happening. The track will be pretty much dead flat. With an existing stock car track at one end ... and a motorcross track at the other end ... with the northern border an industrial area. I doubt if noise complaints will be an issue.

The biggest number of residents are in Cemetery road ... in the cemetery. And they haven't said much ... so far ...

Here's a google maps look at street view of the area .....

And I love that it's just a hop skip & jump away from.......... um.......Where's Cromwell?

I agree Marlborough would be the perfect place for one - easy to get from Nelson, chch, west coast & Wellywood. Heaps of land there for sale now

It's bloody handy for me ... just down the road.

Where's Nelson again ... ??? North or south island ... ???

Does anyone know how long the track will be??

I love Teretonga track, just not it's unreliable location weather-wise, so will be hoping this track will be a suitable length and sanction for a national round in due course...
Course I'll also be hoping it doesn't cost a zillion dollars to use it too!

It looks a little like Taupo to me.

[ellipsis]

...three and a half k's... cant verify that... was told...

I was just thinking the same last nite Rob.... similar shape, just some bits squashed and others stretched a bit.

any idea what version that is? 3.5k is pretty massive for the wee short bit in the middle there, but seems a bit short for the longer looped version?

either way 3.5 is bigger than ruapuna so good enough for me!

[Sarah311]

Any new track gets me excited! 3.5k or thereabouts will be just fine! Those twisty bits look real tight and a couple of fabulous sweepers too. "which way does the track go?"!

[scorry]

I hope it goes clockwise, that way we will actually get the most use out of a set of tyres down here rather than just using the left half

[SWERVE]

if its clockwise.... hope that little cut through at T4 is well blanked off as we dont want someone over shooting that straight and then coming at track 90 degrees to other vehicles.
Will be a "big Kahunas" drag race around the first sweeper - straight - next sweeper also.....
Will be good to do some meetings on it before the 4 wheelers F**K it.
