Baypark Raceway

Baypark Raceway was a 2.1348 km (1.3265 mi) permanent motor racing track that was located near Mount Maunganui in the Bay of Plenty Region, New Zealand. It was opened in December 1967 and had a relatively simple layout with only four corners. There was also a dirt oval track situated within the infield of the circuit. Generally run as an 'outsiders track', Baypark was often omitted from high-profile single-seater events such as the Tasman Series. However, it was successful in luring international sedan racing teams and drivers and helped cultivate a strong niche for the venue which it would maintain for the duration of its tenure. It was also the first circuit in New Zealand to host truck racing and Formula 5000 cars. The circuit closed in the Easter of 1995 owing to the rising rates and surrounding suburban expansion that made the circuits operational status untenable. The area was subsequently redeveloped for housing.
