New Zealand Festival of Motor Racing (2014)

Ok, what good is it to me if i pay to get in and sit in the grandstand only to see the front part of the track.

Baypark - where you sat was what you saw.
Pukekohe - a little more if you sat in the Hill stand top southern end (just objects moving at other side of track though)
Manfield - Same as Baypark
Lakeside - Same
Willowbank - Bit like Puke - see right in front of you and objects moving across the other side.
Gold Coast - Sounds like Monaco - can't go from half empty stand to stand or in pits without extra dollar passes and see bugger all through animal cage surrounding track.

Its the same world wide so I see this as a bit of a lame complaint. What are the facilities meant to have ? Grandstands like Indianapolis where you are that far away you are watching coloured ants race?

Sorry just seems like a silly complaint - you either want a race track or you don't. Enjoy what you have. They are fast disappearing.

At Manfield Tony, where you sat you saw the WHOLE track

Yes, agree Crunch as Manfield is the best viewing track in NZ but has its Achilles heal in the fact no racing can be viewed from the pits unlike Hampton, all tracks have there pro's and con's but aren't we lucky we have all these great tracks here considering our population and country size. NZ is truly a "Motorsport" meca that some countries wish they had and from personal experience's the most affordable country to go racing.

Hi All.
What a great event!

We have received many positive comments for the Festival and as Richard said - "it might be a good moment to reflect on a fabulously successful event that drew some 26,000 spectators over the six days, the biggest gathering ever of Ferraris in NZ, Formula One Ferraris and a large chunk of people for whom this was their first time at a race track".

Thank you to everyone that helped to make the Festival a success, it is certainly a team effort from all concerned.

Roll on the Howden Ganley Festival. There will be a number of fabulous cars for the event.
