Excellent track for international racing events, now that it has had all of the upgrades, the first V8 Supercars and all of the supporting races was awesome even in the rain, plenty of amenities at the event, no matter where you sit around the track you weren't too far from the food trucks, bars and toilets, easy to navigate around the track, walkways were well laid out, access to check out the pits was excellent too. Maybe after the revenue that is taken from a few more of these events they may consider installing shade/rain covering over the Grandstands to protect the patrons from the prevailing winds and rain.
Amazing day at the V8 supercars today. Bring on the racing tomorrow! Well organized and great bus service from Taupo to the track free with your ticket
Taupo International circuit is a fun track. I raced on the old track in the late 80's/early 90's and the track back them was super short and had no facilities. Now days the track has something for everyone: a tricky twisty infield, some wide open fast corners, the original sweeper on to the main straights which has always been tricky to get right and the esses before the strat/finish straight which is awesome when you get it right.nnThe garages are excellent, the coffee cart is awesome and the Marshall's are all friendly. There's even grandstand now days!nnGreat day out.nnColin.....
