The track
Teretonga Park is a 2.62 km permanent circuit on Sandy Point Road, west of Invercargill, raced anticlockwise on a bitumen surface. The Southland Sports Car Club owns it and calls it the world's southernmost FIA approved motor racing circuit, licensed to FIA Grade 3 and National Grade 1. It opened in 1957 as the second purpose built motor racing track in New Zealand and was extended to its current layout in 1966. The New Zealand Grand Prix was first held here in January 2001. Sprints, motorkhanas, motorcycle race days, drag days and drift practice also run on the circuit.
