"3. It’s far too remote. I haven't been to Bathurst however I imagine that there wouldn’t be the number of hotels to accommodate the large numbers of people that the race would attract. Yes, large numbers would camp as they do for the 1000, however I can't imagine that cooperates, teams and drivers would be willing to do so. Does the town have enough accommodation for these people?"

Mate you should come and have a look before commenting.
2 and 1/2 hours from Sydney by road is hardly in the middle of the Simpson Desert!
As for accommodation you have Orange, Blayney, Cowra, Mudgee, Kandos, Rylstone, Oberon, Wallarawang, Lithgow, Blackeath and a few other small towns within one hours drive.
This year we had over 200,000 for the V8, I'm sure we could handle a few more in the district.
As for the "safety" thing, waste of time commenting, its the same old argument.
If you've never been to Bathurst you should make an effort to come next year, I'm sure you'll get a pleasant surprise
