Teretonga Park

Teretonga (meaning 'Swift South' in Māori) is a 2.570 km motor racing circuit situated 8 km south-west of Invercargill, New Zealand. Established in 1957, it was the southernmost FIA-recognised race track in the world prior to 2023 and is New Zealand's oldest purpose-built venue. The course was built by the Southland Sports Car Club, which formed in 1948. From November 1953, club members began preparing the land at Sandy Point, moving huge amounts of sand over four years as the land was graded and grass seeded.

The 1.5 mile road course was ready by November 1957, with first races on November 30. It was extended to its present configuration in December 1966. In the golden age of New Zealand Motor Racing in the '60s and '70s, Teretonga hosted many of the world's greatest drivers including Stirling Moss, Jim Clark, Graham Hill, Jackie Stewart, Jack Brabham, Bruce McLaren, Denny Hulme, Chris Amon, and Phil Hill. Nine World Champions with fifteen world titles between them raced at the circuit. The New Zealand Grand Prix was held at Teretonga from 2002 to 2007. The circuit continues to host the Toyota Racing Series, and five current F1 drivers have raced there.
