Wakefield Park
Race CircuitNew South Wales, Australia
One Raceway, formerly known as Wakefield Park Raceway is a 2.350 km (1.460 mi) motor racing circuit located near Goulburn, New South Wales, Australia. It was named after Charles Wakefield, the founder of Castrol. John Carter and Paul Samuels, the founders of Wakefield Park so believed that Castrol deserved recognition for the impact it had on amateur motorsporting events that they chose to honour Charles Wakefield. Wakefield Park was intended for amateur racers in the likelihood in the 1990s of both Amaroo and Oran Park Raceways closing and amateur racers being unable to afford the daily hire rate at Eastern Creek Raceway. The local arm of Castrol committed to a modest three-year sponsorship deal in appreciation of this honour. Consequently, all the buildings, which were all designed by Samuels and Carter, were in Castrol colours, an appropriate but subtle recognition of the Company's involvement. However, Castrol withdrew it's sponsorship as it was not getting any appreciable value from the investment.
