Not necessarily stick up for TC here, but for a long time some permenant track facilities havn't been very good, the V8's have gone to these circuits and made the money from the largest drawcard in Aussie motor racing, this of course has generally been plowed back into the circuit which benefits the local racers.
Along comes TC, spends a few years boosting the profile of the V8's (remembering it has to compete with other sports for sponsor $ and our $), then demands that circuit facilities be improved for both spectators and competitors, I can't see a problem with that.
Why should AVESCO pay for the upgrades? there job is to market V8's which they have so far done succesfully. You wouldn't expect the Rolling Stones to pay for upgrades to the Sydney Opera House if they played there.
In the end its all busines now, businesmen now own some of the circuits, they are there to make money from it one would presume, If AVESCO were to pump money into circuit upgrades, then you would have to expect them to be repaid with some sort of profit share.
