Highlands Motorsport Park, Motorsport complex in Cromwell, New Zealand

Highlands Motorsport Park is a motor racing circuit 2.5 km southwest of Cromwell's town centre in Central Otago, opened on 30 March 2013. The 4.100 km track runs clockwise as a figure-eight layout with a bridge where the two loops cross, and can be split into five configurations of up to three parallel courses. Its dark grey asphalt is bordered by pale run-off areas, with grass inside the loops; the separate egg-shaped Central Motor Speedway oval lies next door.

Plans for a motorsport park beside Cromwell's existing speedway oval date from 2006, but financial trouble delayed construction until 2012. Australian racing driver and businessman Tony Quinn then joined as main investor, the plans were revised, and the circuit was finished by January 2013. The park opened on 30 March 2013.

The motorsport museum inside displays racing vehicles from different periods of New Zealand's motor sport past. You can see how the sport evolved and changed over time in this country.

The circuit sits 2.5 km southwest of Cromwell's town centre in the Central Otago District, reached by road from the town. The main course runs clockwise as a figure-eight with a track overpass, and can be split into five configurations with up to three courses running at once. Long-distance races on the main layout admit fields of up to 71 cars.

The facility includes an outdoor mini-golf course and specially designed restrooms offering panoramic views of the Central Otago landscape. These unexpected additions make a visit about more than just driving.
