Overview

Proving Ground Facilities

SHPG covers 490ha of privately owned land open during June, July and August each year with a range of confidential, safe and user friendly testing facilities for efficient, counter-seasonal winter testing.

Security and safety are top priorities for SHPG. Each facility is independently secure from other facilities with various security systems in place including security fencing enclosing the entire proving ground and many of the test tracks, compulsory identification, prohibited photographical equipment and all staff signing nondisclosure agreements.

Testing is carried out on your private facility which includes a ride and handling track – completely closed for your use only, snow and Ice flats, split mu & gradient ramps all for your individual safe, secure and confidential use at SHPG. Our workshops are located within your secure facility and are well equipped, including office, broadband internet, telephone and fax and bathroom facilities.

We also have a large 280m diameter snow circle and indoor split mu testing facilities that can be privately booked during your time at SHPG. High Mu testing is also available at SHPG’s private testing facility located 45mins from the proving ground – advanced booking for all of these facilities is advised.
