This quote from Kiwi race fan says it all.

"Well I just hope that when Taupo becomes another Tourist circuit, Manfield gets either flooded away or goes bust & gets bowled over for a Retirement Village and you NI'ers are faced with paying Tony's exhorbant fees to race on his circuits or making the journey South to race, that the South Island circuits that have been loyal to MSNZ and the Tier 1 series tell you to insert it where the sun don't shine!"

Goat Boy has a lot of promise if they can keep it on the circuit!
Not really worth giving him the time of day, is it.

Very similar to the stupid parochial attitudes I used to come across in the SI - mindless childish moronic statements like, "We should cut the cable and the North Island would float off!"

I mean, really.

With all the good Hampton Downs news, Taupo seems to be all but forgotten, however, I understand that Taupo has not only only discharged the debt to the bank, but sold off almost all the Industrial units and is flush with cash in the bank.

Apparently new investment has been approved for several venue enhancing initiatives costing several million dollars, so Taupo's future looks bright not only as as an ongoing circuit, that in many way's is still the best track in the country, but also as a commercially viable entity offering much more than just motor racing.

Wow they've turned that situation around pretty quickly. Good on them, and yes I think it is one of the better tracks in the country too.

I hope the GPS map info is updated quickly. Would not want overseas race fans turning up here.

or the Ryman retirement Bruce McLaren place.
