Attention all karters and motorsport fans. 

Colin Dale Park KartSport Development Charitable Trust needs your help!

As many of you will be aware this project has had a very long gestation, but the Trust is now in the final straight to get the lease signed.  

KartSport is the nursery for virtually all four-wheeled motorsport. This complex will be a huge boost for not only the Auckland region but also for KartSport and Motorsport nationally.

The Auckland Council have agreed in principle to grant a lease to the Trust, but as the Park has now been transferred from the Otara/Papatoetoe local Ward to Parks, Events, Community and Arts (PACE) management, the matter is now open for public consultation. This is where we need your support!

Please consider making a submission as the number of submissions received will determine the eventual decision and deliver a fantastic venue for everyone from grassroots karters to our international athletes.

Submissions close at 11.55pm on 7 May 2021. Details below:

Submissions can be made at https://akhaveyoursay.aucklandcouncil.govt.nz/colin-dale...

We greatly appreciate your assistance, thank you!

Above is the proposed layout of the proposed dummy grid, service parks, scales, parc ferme and tech areas plus repair lane and mechanics stand.

The complex will be the new home for KartSport Mt Wellington, formerly NZ's biggest KartSport club, which has been without a home track since the closure of its complex in Tainui Road, Mt Wellington following the expiry of its Council lease in October 2018.

The facility has been designed in New Zealand by some of our leading KartSport competitors and Academy Coaches, with considerable technical input from Vaughan Crang of Crang Civil Consulting, to meet the latest international CIK-FIA Circuit Regulations and the KartSport New Zealand Sprint Complex Rating Code. The layouts are subject to final approval following simulation conducted by the CIK-FIA. This simulation will also confirm safety features including run-offs, internal barriers and kerb placement.

The circuit configurations include a:

  • 1270m international circuit
  • 959m club circuit A
  • 770m club circuit B
  • 387m tri-oval
  • Plus a separate 526m youth training/hire kart circuit

The Colin Dale Park KartSport Development Charitable Trust is affiliated to KartSport New Zealand.
