Had a cruise down to the track the week before the A1GP arrived. It's well out from the township and would appear to have parking within the fences around the complex. I gather they use the main straight for the drags.

Taupo is usually safe for parking.. :)

Just take the normal "remove everything from site" precautions and you will be fine.. :)

I don't think I'll be going now, it looks like there is going to be about 12 people turning up to my place for the workshop day, it's going to be plenty busy!

Well guys I feel real guilty about this as I was always intending to go up for this, but...................things just got screwed up. Ended up in Aucks collecting a carbon bonnet so was miles away and totally missed it. Bugger really.

While there I was also hoping to drop by Bradc's for the 'workshop day' but time got away and I had to head off back down the island. /pan

Hope someone did go as I haven't heard the results and haven't found any on the net yet either. /Grrr

I went down from auckland, and it was okay, but a bit of a rip off really, $5 parking, $25 entry (1.5km walk from carpark) $5 for the 'pits' which included the bikini comp, and HKS skyline display.

Also, 4 top NZ competitors didn't run due to breakages, HKS didn't run (apparently it was advertised or some bs), and they had several stopages to clean dust off the track.

But we got to see the Heat Treatments Skline run a 7.75, and there was a bunch of other cool stuff, but next year for the gas money, and 7 hours driving, id probably give it a miss..

I'll see if i can dig up some pixs a bit later.
