Hi all - here is another track day at Taupo open to the public. It was great fun last time although the weather was wet and it was a tad slippery! Hopefully it will be dry this Sunday. Don't let the fact that a pace car will be in front put you off as they don't hold back. The full track is open too and $10 for 5 laps is great value. You don't need a helmet or race suit or fire extinguisher etc and you can take passengers with you (circuit racing only). There are a few rules such as no drifting or overtaking but it is still a great day out.

That particular day they had a v8 ute. Couldn't even see the flashing lights on top as the spray was so bad along the back straight!
