The article talks about visitor nights, Tourism, spend lots of things that are relevant to Newcastle because that exactly is why newcastle are having a street race
It doesnt attempt to justify the cost of a building a circuit.
Probably be easier if you read it.

An all of the info the article is based on comes from an event happening on a permanent circuit, not a street circuit.

Because Clipsal, like the Gold Coast, is a seperate set of circumstances.
Those events were built off the back of Interntaional single seater events, and the heritage of these events are still based off the mystique and tradition of the original events.
The Clipsal 500 as it is now would never have happened without the F1 GP starting in 1985, and similiarly the Gold Coast 600 wouldn't be around today without the CART event starting there in 1991.
Those events are a little bit different to the smaller affairs held in Townsville and now Newcastle.

Yep, ok, the irony of you having a go at others for trolling....
Being critical of Supercars doesn't make a member a troll
