QUINN’S PLANS FOR HAMPTON DOWNS REVEALED
Highlands Motorsport Park owner and Australian pet food mogul Tony Quinn is reportedly set to spend $25 million on developing Hampton Downs Motorsport Park.
In an article published yesterday by the National Business Review, Chris Hutching reported Quinn had paid $15.5 million for the North Waikato circuit and has plans to complete the business park.
Talking with the National Business Review, Hampton Downs founder Tony Roberts confirmed the deal is set to be completed in the coming weeks.
“Tony [Quinn] has asked me to stay on and run the place after the deal settles on June 2,” said Roberts.
“In the next six months I expect him to inject quite a bit of capital. It will usher in a golden age for New Zealand motor sport.
“People are really positive about it [...] Tony’s entrance will see the fulfilment of a dream.”
The article comes after Velocity NZ confirmed in late March a deal had been reached between Quinn and Hampton Downs. It is understood the planned extension is included in the development proposal for the facility.

What did it cost to develop it originally, 15.5m seems cheap (but then again I own property in Auckland).

Hampton emailed me this At 6:41pm

But looking at their web site the deal was done on the 21st
http://www.hamptondowns.com/pages/107/latestnews.htm ( the link is the same for each page in "latest news" but reading the
"QUINN KEEN ON V8 SUPERCARS AT HAMPTON DOWNS" Article it said this
“Pukekohe has got the deal for a while, but give it 18 months and Hampton Downs will be a truly international facility.
So it looks like its all happening quick asFew other big speculations in that article as well for the motorsport fan.
I'm guessing he's prob happier he got Hampton with international airport and population base closer by rather than Taupo TBH.
Now if he could get Transit NZ to let the the track run the right way round that would be a real plus

It was designed as a clockwise track ... having ridden it at speed I'm not sure it wold work as well as an anti-clockwise track.

Are you sure about that? because there's a whole bunch of people who say otherwise

It's my understanding that the track was built to be raced in an Anticlockwise direction, all of the corners are cambered that way, and yes I've ridden it and while it's easy enough in the clockwise direction I can see how it would be better the other way.
Transit NZ stopped them running it the proper way because apparently they were concerned that cars might go flying off the end of the start finish straight onto the Southern expresway. Dickheads, what would they know???
