Future racetracks

[mac]

During and after the Barbagallo round, there was talk that unless Perth built a street circuit, they would lose a round of the championship.

This begs the question, are street circuits the way to go for the future? I know Ray doesn't think so. What does everyone else think?

I believe a mixture is healthy. Maybe 2 or 3 street circuits (not including Bathurst) is adequate.

One reason for this trend could be that so many actual racing tracks are not up to handling the V8s. Have a look at some of the tracks:
Willowbank - Dull, boring track (I don't know what the facilities are like).
Lakeside - Good track. Ordinary facilities (I know they're going to be improved).
Oran Park - Great track (the only one I have driven on). No facilities (including the pits).
Eastern Creek - OK track. Probably the best facilities. Poor race day access.
Wakefield Pk - Nice track. Not up to V8s. No facilities.
Calder - Not really a terribly suitable track for V8s. Reasonable facilities.
Winton - Not a wonderful track for V8s. Ordinary facilities.
Sandown - Dull track. Pretty good facilities.
Phillip Island - Great track. Reasonable facilities.
Mallala - Can't handle V8s. Ordinary facilities.
Hidden Valley - Pretty unexciting track. OK facilities.
Barbagallo - OK track. Terrible access. Dusty facilities.

Now I know we can't have every race meeting at Grand Prix standard tracks. However, the current allotment of circuits are ordinary.

Will this and should this encourage the increase in V8 "supercar" street races?

PS. I'm willing to design any future circuits.
