Hampton Downs Motorsport Park, New Zealand racetrack

Hampton Downs Motorsport Park is a permanent circuit beside the Waikato Expressway between Auckland and Hamilton, near Meremere. Its two clockwise layouts, the 2.700 km National circuit with seven corners and the 1.200 km club circuit, combine into a 3.800 km track with six right-hand and four left-hand bends. The front straight runs 950 m with a kink and an 11 m rise and fall; the surface is smooth, with blind bends and crests.

Tony Roberts and Chris Watson bought two dairy farms from Envirowaste in December 2003 and began seeking resource consent, facing opposition from Transit NZ and the Corrections Department over traffic, litter and odour. Construction started in February 2007; a wet winter delayed the opening to October 2009, and Waikato District Mayor Peter Harris officially opened the park in January 2010 at the Bruce McLaren Festival. Tony Quinn bought the complex in 2015 and completed the planned circuit extension.

The park sits on the Waikato Expressway roughly halfway between Auckland and Hamilton, next to Meremere Dragway and the Meremere Dirt Track Club. The National circuit runs 2.700 km with seven corners, the club circuit 1.200 km with four, and combined they form a 3.800 km lap. The Bruce McLaren Trust unit holding McLaren memorabilia can usually be viewed most days.
