I wish I could find some better video, or an rFactor rendition of the lap, but from what I can tell, the circuit is quite spectacular.

Hopefully the locals will chill after the event, when they see all the completed roadwork, the revitalized parkland, and the major perimeter roads around improved so there's maybe less traffic going right through the middle of the neighborhood.

Also, I wasn't even really aware of the existence of Newcastle NSW before the announcement of the Supercars event; I'm sure I'm not the only one. If the locals are concerned about their "history", it's pretty much going to be through tourism that that would be made into an economic asset, so building that awareness is a good thing for the city in that regard.
