QUINN’S PLANS FOR HAMPTON DOWNS REVEALED
Highlands Motorsport Park owner and Australian pet food mogul Tony Quinn is reportedly set to spend $25 million on developing Hampton Downs Motorsport Park.
In an article published yesterday by the National Business Review, Chris Hutching reported Quinn had paid $15.5 million for the North Waikato circuit and has plans to complete the business park.
Talking with the National Business Review, Hampton Downs founder Tony Roberts confirmed the deal is set to be completed in the coming weeks.
“Tony [Quinn] has asked me to stay on and run the place after the deal settles on June 2,” said Roberts.
“In the next six months I expect him to inject quite a bit of capital. It will usher in a golden age for New Zealand motor sport.
“People are really positive about it [...] Tony’s entrance will see the fulfilment of a dream.”
The article comes after Velocity NZ confirmed in late March a deal had been reached between Quinn and Hampton Downs. It is understood the planned extension is included in the development proposal for the facility.
