He really is a rare breed of politician that has a lot of respect in Ipswich, and if it does go ahead, they must actually do it right, this time around. The 6 klm noise buffer zone they have up there gives them plenty of room to create something special, as long as they don't try and do it on the cheap and end up with another version of the most boring track in Australia.
As a regular at other forms of motorsport at the Ipswich Motorsport Precint, it seems Mayor Pisasale, ideas is in the form of $35 mil upgrade. This would go to improvements and relocating some current facility's to improve access in to the site, "champions way" . establish motorsport industries out there as well. But it still needs an upgrade of the Highway from the Centenary Highway intersection right past Willowbank, and an alternative entrance.

Mr Quinn also had plans to extend the circuit out from turn two before it heads down the straight , but he and Mr Tetley haven,t been able to agree on a price. It has been said that two offers had already been put to QR.

Ipswich Council has taken back all leases bar one. So if Paul wants his dream, he may have to buy out QR's lease, rumored to be $21 mill

If it does get up, it will be better for South east Qld motosport.
