Costs to hire Hampton Downs

**R6_kid:Me** · 10th December 2007, 16:44

'per vehicle' only shows up on 'trackday' which i'd guess is an open day.

What you have to remember is that the track is already fully paid for by the apartments, industrial space, and key stakeholders (testing/training etc).

I heard that they could sit quite happily without running major racing events such as V8's for extra income. But not doing it would just be silly!

Thanks for your enquiry.

Yes you are correct the daily cost for weekdays is $5,625.00 however there is no extra individual car charge.

From my point of view (TrackFun), Hampton Downs has hit the nail on the head cost wise. It should be stunning when opened and TrackFun will be there.

The weekday short circuit configs look exceptionally good value for money. Wonder if the skid-pan could be used for training and/or stunting? Hell, I could hire it for a day, stick a cone in the middle and eventually deck out my knee sliders...or maybe not.

Am I the only one that thinks they'll be digging up the corner at the end of the back straight within the year due to the lack of run-off?

I cant agree that Taupo is a "one liner" Poos. I have found most corners are able to be attacked by 2 or more lines (in and out) . I agree its a one liner for cars and they are stuck in a snake from start to finish.
I have been watching Hampton Downs with much interest and i think they have managed to do what Taupo wanted to do but didnt have the money or the space to actually finish with.
Lets face it people, We are a very small percentage of the population here and the likes of Hampton SDowns will have to be utilised fully to make it STAY as a great venue, otherwise it will turn into a partly paved "mistake" like Manfeild is now.
