The amazing thing is that we will all call it the "Clipsal" for a few more years anyway...
Shows the benefit of long-term backing I'd say. I can still remember Mike Raymond calling it the James Hardie 1000 more than once during the telecast of the year it became the Tooheys 1000... (1988??) |

Definitely one of the great motorsport sponsorships.
Eighteen years is a long time for any relationship. No downward spiral detected. |

Peregrine Corporation, who former Adelaide 500 CEO Mark Warren is now employed by, are behind the under construction Bend Motorsport Park in Tailem Bend which reportedly has an agreement to hold a round of the series once completed. ABC News May 2015

According to Phelps today, the circus is looking at a regional Victorian street race in much the same vain as Newcastle has filled the Homebush void, in particular to replace either Sandown or Winton.

Dislike. VASC people, please don't replace a circuit event with another street track. However, if looking to the future, when Sandown will probably need to be replaced full stop, then I guess a street track might have to do.

Other than Geelong (which is going to be in recession due to Ford's closure), Ballarat or Bendigo spring to mind as the only likely candidates, I use the word as a term of probability only. I am not sure if either of these could support such an event, but Ballarat does have a lot of business based there, and some interesting places you could do a street track. |

Has to be Geelong and they might put it there as a balance to Ford closing, bring in the tourist dollar |

But Geelong is now unemployed heartland.
Not sure how SC and the VicGov would deal with the negative press. |

5 years ago, maybe 10, this would've been a great concept.

Absolutely no where they could do it. There are regional races in Phillip Island and Winton anyway.

A street race will cost a whole lot more - would it bring a whole lot more spectators? |

But how good an investment it is would depend on lots of things and if there is a window where it doesn't affect other events is another question |

I've been to every single race day of every single Sydney 500
There were not a lot of people there last weekend, smaller even than the 2012 40+ degree day race it seemed to me You can doubt it all you like though, were you even at the event last weekend? |

I wasnt there and happy to concede the crowd was small, just highly doubtful of a 15000 race day crowd
