If you could afford to build that why would you need to make money with it....

The TV commercial for the Honda CBR1000 where Casey Stoner is shown riding the bike on a track, that's the track.

I think I have heard about this track before? Is that the same one that is near Mangrove Mountain? If memory serves he allows a certain 'Drive a supercar for a day' companies access for some hot laps. Well, I think thats what I heard when I was with them having lunch.
It has been posted before, I think via a google earth screen shot? I did tell the 'possible' story behind it in a little more detail, wonder if what i posted was close to the truth? Will need to dig up the thread! Still... what a cool backyard to have ;)

Yep, I remember that thread. I even spent some time playing around with it from Google Earth - although there's no streetmaps view of it. There's quite a drop down into the hairpin.
Anyone care to go dredging? Lukeyson

Think it might have been a company running motorbike track days he let onto it.

I herd that it got through council by calling it a driveway not a racetrack. that way they dont have all of the dramas of OHS & neighbour complaints about a "racetrack"

Volvo Car launched the S60 over a year ago at the track. Had a few known race drivers put it through its paces

A friend of mine had the chance to drive around it a few weeks ago, shame he was in his Landcruiser.
 Haven't spoken to him directly since he did it, so I am not even sure why he was there. He does drive rally cars so it must have something to do with that. |

Here's a nice fact He actually lets his neighbors and the like use the track. They have an understanding with him as my friend lives on the next property over.

This track is also know as "The Farm". If you want to drive it then it's invite only or you can experience it through this mob during a Supercar Track day.
