From 2008 to 2012 it hosted the Hamilton 400 as part of the V8 Supercars championship. From 2010 to 2012, ITM, New Zealand's largest group of independent trade building supplies, sponsored the race and it became known as the ITM 400 Hamilton.[1] DemiseSome residents of the city wanted the V8s gone, as they took over city streets and blocked residents from entering and exiting their own homes.[2] On 14 December 2010, The New Zealand Herald reported that Julie Hardaker, the newly elected Mayor of Hamilton, and some councilors appointed an independent auditor to audit the cost of the race. The figures released on 14 December suggested that a NZ$3.5m cost to change the event to a different promoter (the original promoter, Caleta Streetrace Management, was collapsed in 2010), NZ$5.1m for operational costs and NZ$20.3m for set-up costs. The sum (NZ$27.4 million) did not include "commercially confidential" amounts such as event sponsorship payments.[3] The cost to run the V8 Supercar event was eventually deemed too great[4] and the final V8 Supercar race was held on 22 April 2012; it was won by Mark Winterbottom.[5] The circuitHamilton Street Circuit is 3.4 km long runs in a clockwise direction around the Frankton business district with the pit lane and main straight located on Mill Street. The circuit also goes alongside the Seddon Park and the Waikato Stadium.[6] It is generally a narrow race track with armco and concrete lined sides but it can be fast[7] and flowing.[8] There are plenty of passing opportunities and those who quickly dial into the contained style of street racing have the most success. The circuit is not very forgiving if the driver get off the racing line because it is surrounded by the aforementioned fences and concrete barriers.[9]References1. ^{{cite news|url=http://www.nzherald.co.nz/motoring/news/article.cfm?c_id=9&objectid=10605502|title= Motorsport: ITM deal boosts Hamilton 400 |publisher=nzherald.co.nz|date=28 October 2009|accessdate=29 October 2009|first=Eric|last=Thompson}} 2. ^{{cite news| url= http://www.3news.co.nz/Hamilton-resident-seeks-to-stop-V8s-race/tabid/415/articleID/249832/Default.aspx|work=3 News NZ |title= Hamilton resident seeks to stop V8s| date=10 April 2012}} 3. ^{{cite news|url=http://www.nzherald.co.nz/motorsport/news/article.cfm?c_id=66&objectid=10694295|title= Motorsport: Mayor "horrified" by cost of Hamilton V8s |publisher=nzherald.co.nz|date=14 December 2010|accessdate=19 December 2010}} 4. ^{{cite news| url= http://www.3news.co.nz/Pukekohe-V8s-to-feature-four-races/tabid/415/articleID/291811/Default.aspx|work=3 News NZ |title= Pukekohe V8s to feature four races| date=26 March 2013}} 5. ^{{cite news| url= http://www.3news.co.nz/VIDEO-Mark-Winterbottom-wins-thrilling-final-race-at-Hamilton-ITM-400/tabid/415/articleID/251372/Default.aspx|work=3 News NZ |title= Mark Winterbottom wins thrilling final race at Hamilton ITM 400| date=22 April 2012}} 6. ^{{cite news|url=http://hamilton.v8supercars.com.au/Circuit/tabid/695/Default.aspx|title=ITM Hamilton 400, New Zealand|publisher=v8supercars.com.au|date=n.d.|accessdate=22 February 2010|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100220021740/http://hamilton.v8supercars.com.au/Circuit/tabid/695/Default.aspx|archive-date=20 February 2010|dead-url=yes|df=}} 7. ^{{cite news|url=http://www.toyotaracing.co.nz/default.aspx?pageid=615&yearflag=2009|title= On track for competitive driving |publisher=toyotaracing.co.nz|date=n.d. |accessdate=10 November 2009}} {{Dead link|date=October 2010|bot=H3llBot}} 8. ^{{cite news|url=http://hamilton.v8supercars.com.au/Circuit/tabid/695/Default.aspx|title=ITM Hamilton 400, New Zealand|publisher=v8supercars.com.au|date=n.d.|accessdate=22 February 2010|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100220021740/http://hamilton.v8supercars.com.au/Circuit/tabid/695/Default.aspx|archive-date=20 February 2010|dead-url=yes|df=}} 9. ^{{cite news|url=http://www.drivesouth.co.nz/news/5607/new-hamilton-street-circuit-will-be-quick-southern-drivers-say|title= New Hamilton street circuit will be quick, southern drivers say |publisher=drivesouth.co.nz|date=18 April 2008|accessdate=30 October 2009}} External links
