I love how they can run the track in both directions fairly easily, also the race has been getting quite a lot of advertising coverage here which is cool to see, shame it's near no major population centers

That track looks great. I also hope V8 Supercars can race there one day, but I wouldn't really want it to replace Pukekohe, as thats one of favourite tracks on v8 calendar.

Interesting starting procedure they'll have for the race

Quote:
"Each car has a numbered orange ribbon attached to the rear, so with the starting driver already safely harnessed in the car, all co-drivers form up in the same order on the other side of pit lane, about 250 metres away. Each team also has a car controller positioned safely to watch for their co-driver to hold up the ribbon and then release the car.

"At the start, each co-driver sprints to the back of the stationary car, holds their ribbon aloft for the car controller to see who'll be watching for other cars before they signal their driver to depart. Normal pit lane rules apply so speed is limited to 40 kmh and the starting driver will only accelerate to racing speeds once they've exited pit lane."

Day 1 Highlights



Day 2 Highlights


Great looking track. I can just see a huge crash happening on the entry under the bridge.

There are apparently plans to extend the track an additional 1.2km with more faster flowing sections deeper into the forest

Wow, that track has the potential to be insanely dangerous, like an old school hockenhiem. I love it, racing as fuck!
