I'm not getting into the Moto GP stuff as I grew up on a diet of English bikes
around the circuit -what a great sound with that deep note particularly around the top of the Mountain and over Skyline. What memories!

The healthy bike fields at SMSP tell me that things aren't too bad and the non existent spectator is common to all forms of motor sport both 2 and 4 wheel.
I hope the new track and the associated Velocity Park come to fruition in the not too distant future whilst I am still young enough to enjoy them.
Check the temperatures in Bathurst this year April to September and you will see there is no comparison to western Sydney in these months.
Another issue is all the up market residential development that has occurred along the access road coming off the Cowra road.These people would be impacted by circuit noise as much as residents around Sandown.Cant see them accepting the development.
There were feasibility studies done the last time this was proposed and they showed it wasn't viable.
