See the changes on the Taupo track with MotoTT.
Pretty well gives the smaller bikes a better chance now and evens up 600/1000 thingy, that the long straight is fucked, plus the new corners on the LH sweeper.
Speedy would be good round there now.
Even my slow top end Ducati.

Done the track with T9 and T10. Back then everyone wanted to run the way it is currently. Now they want to go back to the old way just so they can keep up with a bigger bike. Was a good spot for getting photos thou. Putting a chicanne down the main straight is a good idea. Seen some big offs at the end of the straight. It will be fun anyway.

Wonder if Kiwitracdays will keep theirs the same, or change to the above one.
If they kept their same one, it would give you a good option of doing both track styles, which has to be interesting.

They might do month about of the different tracks if it proves popular
