The first parts of the racing surface at the new Hampton Downs Circuit in New Zealand was laid last week. Tony Roberts, Managing Director of the facility said “its all very exciting, the first 2.3 kms went down today and the black top is doing a good job. Everyone is very impressed by the circuit design.”
The design and full FIA simulation analysis as a Category 2 circuit was completed by Apex Founding Director Clive Bowen in 2005. Bowen’s design philosophy, was to incorporate the views of; drivers, teams and the FIA into a sequence of corners and straights that should provide good racing, spectating and safe use for drivers of all abilities.
Unlike other tracks in New Zealand, this circuit has plenty of rise and fall. Added to this are two long straights and at least four good passing opportunities around the full circuit. The 3.8 km large circuit has nine corners, five right hand and four left hand.
