How do you think the Supercars will go in their new Taupō location?

Libby Totton Reporter from Taupō Times

In less than a week the roar of V8 Supercars will reverberate around Taupō, more than a decade after they were seen on Hamilton streets.

While Hamiltonians initially embraced the event, cracks started to appear in the promoters’ plans even before the first green flag dropped, and it ended with a tarnished legacy and a big bill for ratepayers.

So can the Taupō event be a success and have we learned from past mistakes?
