Whilst I no longer speak for V8ST, I have to say that when I ran the Company we only ever had a problem with two circuits safety, namely Timaru and Teretonga, both of these circuits were well aware of our concern, and both of them have now gone to considerable lengths to improve those safety concerns.

As I have not personally seen the safety changes at either circuit I am however informed, from reliable sources, that most of our original concerns have now been addressed.

Thats not to say that all circuits in New Zealand are as safe as they could be made, but given the very high cost of further safety measures, like much bigger run-off area's they have all been steadily improved and continue to do so.
