That would make a mint rallycross track. Im all for going out and having a wee peek.![]()
For a man is a slave to whatever has mastered him.Keep an open mind, just dont let your brains fall out.
I realize that some of the trees have to go,but hell leave some of them as it looks freaking awesome racing through them.

Have to agree with this, New Zealands own ultimate track.
Pity OHS will put a damper on it to prevent us getting a scratch on our balls anticipating driving/riding it.
But Im sure there will plenty of "test" days my international companies wanting to use it as a proving ground.
To be old and wise, first you must be young and stupid.
Wow very cool track!. Some knarly 90 degree corners and tight hair pin near the end for good measure. We now know its a clockwise track... May need to remove some of those trees otherwise there will be variable drying after a shower of rain... Some of the track was still damp and the rest was dusty.
The ute did about 2 minute lap time in "greasy conditions" - what will a superbike do?
Unfortunatlyas im told its going to be a track for the test companies and rich buggers to play in.
The owner is building it for his son to run and hasnt involved mnz or motorsport nz on design or spec for racing and all the track is going to be controled with corner lighs from a main centre in the pits instead of marshels.
I could be and hope im wrong with this but where i heard this is pretty reliable.
winding up stucky since ages ago
You probably are given that lack of information that is out there about it, wont be a lot different to Rod Millen and his "Driveway" up north that is actually a sealed hill climb track.
And lets face it, motorsport in NZ doesn't make money, Hampton Downs was quite clear about that when they started there track. The whole business model was about cooperate days etc. to pay for the motorsport on the weekends.
Would be hell of a shame though never to see anyone race there.
I have unfortunately heard that rumor also.
