As a now frequent visitor to Newcastle and the region, I hope the tourism aim of staging the race brings punters in, because they will come back!

Yes mate. Re read the post - I am pretty sure it referenced the launch of the Homebush event in 2008

if it helps LD 2244 i suggest reading the economic impact statement from adelaide, which shows the numbers mentioned appear conservative, but time will tell here is the darwin economic impact statement from 2012 which superceedes both of DRT old documents and show information for newcastle is indeed conservative Economic Impact Report Benefits Newcastle street race Clipsal 500 records most successful V8 supercar race ever |

https://www.newcastle.nsw.gov.au/Supercars/Benefits it's not just the tourism and exposure we'll gain from it but also the amount of infrastructure upgrades we're getting from the event will be hugely beneficial for us locals as well

Why is International exposure coming up??
I hardly think Newcastle is in this for the International visitors, the overseas interest just isn't there. They are primarily chasing the domestic visitors (same as Townsville) Darwin isn't a street race But Darwin is exactly the model that Newcastle should be following! Instead of tipping money down a well into a street race, put the money into a permanent facility in Newcastle so everyone benefits, not just the few Quote:

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. Notice you left out the clipsal info, which is a street race. Im guessing you were just trolling as opposed to have a genuine discusion |

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. Quote:

Too old? On what grounds? I am not sure why the findings of V8SC and factions within the NSW Government embellishing anticipated economic impacts has to do the location of Homebush or Newcastle?? A history of claiming high economic impact and findings of these not being in touch with reality has a lot to do with the Newcastle event - we can bury our heads in the sand or we can discuss why this has occurred? Great to see you are still trying to silence people who dont agree with you GTR. A great quality for a forum moderator |

This "contest of ideas" happens here every time a new street or overseas race is put on the calendar.None of us really know whether Newcastle is going to be successful or not.It will not be possible to judge until after the second year of the race or maybe even the third.The novelty factor will bring a lot of people in the first time.Whether their experience will get them back ,like Adelaide, or make them determined to never return like Canberra and Homebush ,will be the key.
The organisers need to make sure things like access and spectator viewing are A+.They need to price tickets of all categories reasonably-socio economically this is not the Sydney or Melbourne market.They need to concentrate on the local market.There is not enough accommodation for tens of thousands of visitors even if that many wanted to come. Finally people here need to stop pointing to Townsville as a raging continuing success.Looking at my DVD's of races there the crowds now are only about a third of what they were in 2009 and 2010.This is also confirmed by speaking to people who go to the event.If it was not for the regional pork barrel it might be gone by now. |

Smacks of Supercars telling the world that Homebush got great crowds in the latter years, when it was a ghost town to us in attendance during the latter years.... Except in the topics of the Homebush cancellation and any negative Newcastle talk, where one moderator has actively seemed to want to derail and stop any talk about those topics.... |
