Pukekohe Race Park, NZ
Official V8 Supercars venue and historical track.
746m longer than original.

The Raceway was opened in 1963 as a permanent track, replacing Ardmore (an aerodrome) as the host circuit of the New Zealand Grand Prix. Annually for several years, the mainly European based Grand Prix drivers such as Stirling Moss,Graham Hill, Jim Clark and Jackie Stewart, would head downunder for a relaxed Tasman Series during the European winter.

For many years Pukekohe was the venue for New Zealand's premier production car race, the Benson and Hedges 500 mile race (later 1000 km) featuring drivers such as Peter Brock, Dick Johnson and Jim Richards. In 1996 the New Zealand Mobil Sprints held one round in Pukekohe. Pukekohe Park Raceway also held an annual round of the popular Australian V8 Supercar race from 2001 to 2007. However, the New Zealand round moved to Hamilton Street Circuit in 2008. On the 5th July 2012, it was announced that V8 Supercars would return to the circuit in 2013 as part of a 5 year deal with the circuit operators.

Close, but the elevations are all wrong - final cnr is blind uphill, t1 - t3 are flat.
Awesome track.
