I wish I could find some better video, or an rFactor rendition of the lap, but from what I can tell, the circuit is quite spectacular.
Hopefully the locals will chill after the event, when they see all the completed roadwork, the revitalized parkland, and the major perimeter roads around improved so there's maybe less traffic going right through the middle of the neighborhood. Also, I wasn't even really aware of the existence of Newcastle NSW before the announcement of the Supercars event; I'm sure I'm not the only one. If the locals are concerned about their "history", it's pretty much going to be through tourism that that would be made into an economic asset, so building that awareness is a good thing for the city in that regard. |

There was a pub in Sydney that was 'famous' for it's live Sunday afternoon music sessions for over 50 years... However a bunch of new neighbours got together and the upshot was the pub can no longer have live music on a Sunday afternoon People power lobbying the council have more power than anything. The saving grace for Newcastle though is the state government support, that will ensure the event is in no danger. |

Great footage. That’s a lot of people’s homes the track is running past. Hardly any wonder some of them have got the shy tests.

Here's a short, on-the-ground video, showing someone driving up to Turn 11, and then going along the front stretch.

Depends on your definition of 'expensive Pecky, but you could check out the Charlestown/Kotara areas ?

Reckon you might be better finding something along the railway line as trains are free with a race ticket.
Try out Hamilton, Mayfield and Waratah way. |

Given that the biggest single issue with the site is access with the only option likely to be shuttles from sites a long distance from circuit it is pretty mind boggling that no details of arrangements have been released yet.
I remain to be convinced that poor access will not eventually kill the race.1 hour minimum from parking your car to getting in the circuit I reckon and probably longer at the end of the day going back. |
