Reminds me when Calder Park was named Keilor International Raceway for a while.
Everyone still called it Calder just like Eastern Creek will be "The Creek". |

If they were smart they would have put it to the members to come up with a new name, the winning name getting a free track day or similar. I'm sure a motorsport member base could have come up with something much better than Sydney MotorSport Park.

Having a commercial sponsor in the title would have been more impressive...

With one exception. 20 years on, rally GB is still referred to by us old-timers as the RAC, and sometimes the RAC Lombard! |

Agree with Woolley, naming a venue based on a sponsor is a bad idea, if the name sticks and then the sponsor moves on, everyone will still refer to the facility using the old sponsors name, which would make it difficult and frustrating for any new sponsor. |

QEII Stadium in Brisbane, which amongst other things hosted the 1982 Commonwealth Games, was renamed ANZ Stadium in 1993 through to 2003, when the sponsorship deal ended (known since 2004 as the Queensland Sport and Athletics Centre) In 2008 ANZ then did a deal to take over from Telstra the naming rights of the stadium in Sydney that hosted the 2000 Olympics..... it is now known as ANZ Stadium.... confusion central |

'Simply Sausages Donington Park' There is the only evidence you need as to why sponsor names shouldn't be on race tracks |

The Barry Sheen Motorsport Centre would be a fitting tribute (although our Wayne was instrumental in getting the bikes to EC) ....then we could substitute "BS" instead of "Bazza" when talking about the weird goings on there these days! BSMC has a familiar ring to it.... |

Was the 1990 Nissan 500 the very first senior race meeting held there? Maybe they could name something after LP, as inaugural winner...

It would solve a few problems for TC |
