ON THIS DAY: April 15

Delve into the Speedcafe.com archives and rediscover the biggest stories over the past decade which had us talking, and have gone on to help shape our sport.

In 2010 the Hampton Downs circuit put up their hands to host a future Supercars round.

The track was newly completed at the time and had held its first major event in January attracting 25,000 people to the Bruce McLaren Festival.

2020 had been set to see the New Zealand circuit debut on the Supercars calendar after a last-minute switch from Pukekohe but the round was postponed due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.

Take a trip down Speedcafe.com memory lane on this day, April 15.
