    Definitely looks like a bit of a horsepower track, aye?

    Love that downhill left-hander though.

    The hairpin at the end of the straight early on in the lap is going to claim many a vehicle, I suspect...

    "The total Motorsport Park under development April 08, with the lifestyle blocks on the far left and camping ground/lodge next and the trackside Business Park alongside the circuit."

    Let's hope that they don't follow the usual kiwi mentality of someone moving in, and then complaining about the noise! Western Springs, anyone?
