While it has had its detractors, it has always provided great racing and particularly the 500 and 300k distances, no one could really complain about the races that have unfolded.
Remember too, that this is the designated test circuit for so many of the top teams- SBR, DJR, 888, PMM, and holds drive days for car clubs, state series racing and other motoring activities.
Lakeside, Amaroo, Surfers Paradise, all gone. Oran park looking shaky so it seems, what next?
Qld has a large population as has been stated, so it would seem logical to have a race at a permanent circuit to provide economic spinoffs to the motorsport community through the use of infrastructure. Tell me how a street circuit benefits a young F Vee racer, or a guy with talent and big dreams in club cars? Sure there is infastructure but it is packed up and out of there after the event is concluded.

Is there an echo in here ?????
Wind the clock back 12 months and nobody in Qld gave a sh1t about the most popular round in Victoria getting the Tijuana Brass.
Boo Hoo, gnashing of teeth, wringing of hands, outrage, threats of Boycotts, complaints of lack of support for the grass roots motorsport competitors.
It seems that Queensland is the centre of Queensland, and the rest of Australia doesn't matter.
