Just received from NZ:
"Motorsport will lose the use of iconic Pukekohe Park Raceway, with Auckland Thoroughbred Racing announcing plans to expand its operation at the venue from next year.
"The last motorsport event has been scheduled for April 2, 2023, as horse-racing takes centre stage.
"But Supercars have confirmed their commitment to continuing in New Zealand, despite the loss of its primary venue over the past 20 years.
" 'It's obviously a great loss to farewell a circuit with so much history and heritage to both New Zealand and Australian racing', said Supercars chief executive Shane Howard.
" 'Legends were created here and it was the location of Supercars' first ever international Championship race. Its legacy will live on for many years to come..' ."
From 1963, Pukekohe had replaced Ardmore aerodrome as home venue of the New Zealand Grand Prix. Now just more misty memories.
