I thought I heard mention of A1 and Hampton mentioned in the same sentence somewhere. I'm sure that is what is on the cards.
The dust problem I'm sure could be fixed.
I've been on the track a few times and IMHO it is narrow, but I like it anyways. It's also a nice facility. In addition it has a nice scenic backdrop and Taupo itself is a nice town with plenty of tourist facilities. Probably the main advice I could give is to try to keep the track rented as much as possible with testing, racing schools, track days, driving schools etc. and to look internationally for business from historic racing groups, car manufacturers etc. Maybe something along the lines of a Muscle Car Masters type event, which has worked well for Eastern Creek.
