Already one street race (an international one at that) bankrolled by the QLD government,not sure the "highest level" will be too interested.

Here is a discussion on another forum which includes a map...
Looking good Townsville I reckon it would be a great race for the V8's to have... I mean, heck, Ipswitch is the nothern most race on the East Coast.. going to Townsville would be great... |

Ive got my money on Ipswitch leaving the Calender, and a Townsville race taking over.
It surely ruins any chance of Winton getting back on the calender. |

It now seems likely Avesco is going to leave QR, a race that pulled a healthy crowd not sure of numbers but if you believe AA (which I dont) it was quite substantial, for another street race. Leaving two non permanent tracks in Qld funded by the Gov offering nothing back to motorsport as a whole. And some still believe it was a good day when Avesco took over the v8's and cams. |

It's easy to leave Eastern Creek because in Oran Park, the Sydney market is still looked after.
You leave QR and what happens to the Brisbane market? Besides - any money for Townsville would surely not happen unless the Qld Government abandoned chasing Rally Australia? |
