New Zealand has a brand new motorsport facility, it’s called the Highlands Motorsport Park. Self-described as “an exclusive members-only facility”, it’s ideally placed around 50km away from Queenstown on the South Island.
Highlands will be used for its first major event when it hosts Round 6 of the 2013 Australian GT championship in November.
The grand opening of the track was held over Easter and Craig Baird was on hand in a McLaren MP4-12C GT3 to set the first official lap record. You can watch video of that, and more, after the break.
