Circuit History
The Highlands Motorsport Park is a world-class motorsports facility located in Cromwell, New Zealand. The idea for the park was conceived in 2006 by a group of local Queenstown car enthusiast who sold the land in 2012 to Tony Quinn when construction of the park began and officially opened on 31 March 2013.
The park was designed by Tony Quinn and his Son Klark and features a 4.1km circuit that meets FIA Grade 3 standards, making it suitable for a range of motorsport events, including international competitions. The park also includes a museum, a go-kart track, a motorsport-themed playground, and a café.
Since then, the Highlands Motorsport Park has hosted numerous high-profile events, including the New Zealand round of the Australian GT Championship, the Highlands Festival of Speed, and the Highlands 101 endurance race. The park has also been used for driver training, corporate events, and private track days.
In addition to its motorsport facilities, the Highlands Motorsport Park is also home to the National Motorsport Museum, which features a collection of over 50 historic race cars and motorcycles and the famous “loo with a view”. Highlands Motorsport Park will play host to the 2024 New Zealand Grand Prix.
