I have been at Wakefield for speed off the street days and seen people ejected from those more than once as well and that is what you would call mainstream motorsport. A well built spectator friendly track will take all those disciplines and put them into one facility including a kart track, put good facilities in for families where mum and the kids can go along etc. How many wives have killed motorsport careers because they hate going to the track which is dirty, nowhere to allow the kids to play etc. Short term thinking is the name of the game and always has been. I tried to buy a track a long time ago, it was going broke at high speed, the owner couldn't see it so he no longer has a track and I missed out as well.

Motorsport has moved on, it is no longer a circuit used strictly for car racing in the form we knew it, the new games are drifting, roll racing, time attack, burnouts and corporate track hire. Anyone who doesn't get that is blind to the facts.

Ever been to Winton? It caters for all those and even has a grassed area
