We are also excited to hopefully welcome Tailem Bend in South Australia to the Calendar in 2018."

The 2 hour drive each way means its likely an overnight stay, bringing tourism to the area, and also cost for spectators.

I'm a Melbournite so I would be travelling to either, but I'd love to come up for a race, and take in some wine tasting and other things in the region. I do quite like it up there.

I'm sure it will pull a better crowd than Sydney, straight off the bat at least.....

....but we were told Homebush was the holy grail and would draw a crowd, then we were told that Gosford was going to be the saviour.... now it's Newcastle..... Port Macquarie if this doesn't work?

Unusual move, but I guess the series is very Easy Coast centric, teams wise.

No doubt - below is the yard stick that Newcastle will be compared against.

Quote:
A total of 184,856 fans filtered into Homebush over the three-day Sydney 500, the final round of this season’s V8 Supercar series, exceeding the expectations set by the NSW government – which has committed over $30 million for the next five years – and V8 Supercar officials.

The success of the event prompted V8 supremo Tony Cochrane to predict future crowd figures of around 250,000

Let's play devils advocate here, if the Newcastle event isn't a success at the 3 - 5 year mark (past events say it's a 50/50 chance), where does that leave Supercars, and in particular their standing among not only the NSW government/taxpayers, but future deals with other governments?

Is this deal the last roll of the NSW street circuit dice for V8SC?

If I was V8SC, I would think it would be imperative that general admission tickets have good viewing points, or they may well travel down the Homebush path again.

The flyover simulation of the circuit suggests it is a cross between Hamilton and Canberra which isn't positive.

According to this Clipsal reverts to a 2x250km format in 2017. Much better IMHO - the 2 short races on Saturday just didn't do it for me.http://www.foxsports.com.au/motorspo...=FoxMotorsport

Hi Alan!

Did you ever go to Hamilton? It sure was one amazingly challenging race circuit, but it was fantastic for race fans whether they were corporate guests, grandstand ticket holders, or general admission fans. There were viewing options on the inside of Turn 1 down to Turn 2 for GA holders, and I can tell you the entry and exit of the Turn 2 hairpin were both great, as was the "backwards" roundabout at Turn 3. The chicane was great, and so was the right hander onto Empire Street.

From a driver's perspective, it was fantastic - if you don't ask Jamie Whincup. I was right there for his crash too.

If I rate race circuits in Australasia, Bathurst is my favourite and then Hamilton is my 2nd choice every single time. Julie, the poodle-walking lycra-loving mayor, is now gone. Oh, to go back there
