'The owners of V8 Supercars are understood to be tipping more money into the business after striking a $50m-plus deal to buy the sports events business from private equity firm Archer Capital last year.

Supercars has got off to a flying start this year, with the camping ground sold out for Bathurst in October.

A consortium chaired by the QMS outdoor advertising CEO Barclay Nettlefold purchased Supercars last year for between $50m and $60m.

Sources close to RACE say a suitor recently made an approach to buy Supercars.

However, it is believed existing investors are looking to tip up to $10m into the operation.

They say fan engagement and sponsorship is up, hospitality venues for the sport are full and demand is strong.

The Bathurst event has bookings to accommodate 7500 campers this year, after attracting only 2500 last year.'


Reads as a look for new investors to me, with Bathurst for an announcement.
If the numbers did not go up from the last two years they would be in deep trouble, they have most probably just returned to something like normal.
