Not what I said! It isn't all about the photographers, but just pointing out that it isn't amateur photographer friendly. There is a difference.

Now I have hung up my race helmet, taking photographs is a major reason for visiting race tracks - or not. In that regard, Manfeild is not so good. It isn't alone in that regard, either in NZ or overseas.

Western Springs is also great to see the action, as you can see the whole track, but isn't so good for photographs, so it isn't confined to road circuits. Highlands is a long track, but again, cars are out of sight for much of the lap and from what I can gather talking to pro's, also not exactly amateur photographer friendly.

The majority just go to see the racing, but not everyone.
