The Feilding circuit named after Chris Amon

The circuit was built in 1973, extended in 1998 and resurfaced in 2004. The Manfeild Park Trust was set up in October 2004, when the Manawatu District Council, the Feilding Agricultural and Pastoral Association and the Manawatu Car Club put their land together. In 2016 the Trust renamed the track Manfeild: Circuit Chris Amon, after the local driver who raced in Formula One.

The track

A permanent circuit of 3.03 km with 8 turns (MotorSport New Zealand figures), FIA Grade 3 and National Grade 1. Joined to the 1.5 km Driver Training Circuit it makes a 4.5 km combined track, 12 m wide, with cambered and flat sections. It runs car and motorcycle racing, drifting and karting.
