Was at a meeting last night and although it was hinted that it had been sold, no-one would confirm!
It does raise a lot of questions but hopefully, the regular race programme won't be adversely affected. HRC (who take out more race permits than virtually any other club), have only just published their calendar for the next 15 months, so Tony and particularly Chris may well still have some involvement. I certainly hope so.
It was hinted a week or two ago that Tony Quinn was keen to bring the Aussie GT's to Hampton Downs which would be fantastic.
There were already plans at HD for a Museum and a Kart track and as they have been a success at Highlands, hopefully they too will now be put in place.
The biggest query is the position of the apartments - especially those in the rental pool - as all the apartments are freehold and not included in the Motorsport Park. Will the proper Motor Lodge be finished with the proposed pool, tennis courts, gym etc?
There are also queries on the services such as the sewerage treatment plant, the lifestyle blocks and also the planned viillage/pub/hotel/restaurants etc. Is that land also included in the sale?
No doubt we'll find out.
