Townsville Road Race
News on the grape vine is that Townsville has put in a bid to host their own round on the streets and one of the races to be contested at night,
Any one heard much sounds great |

Gee, I've never heard of any rumours of a Townsville street race. Man that is old news.

Is there any chance they might run a pilot event next year using the Development series ?

And I couldn't see the Development Series going to Townsville before the main guys did. That's not what people from Townsville would like to say the least.

The circuit wouldn't be ready for next year no matter what Tony wanted. 2008 at best.

Which teams would move to Queensland currently? The only way I see that happening is if one or two change hands, although if rumours are right, there is a bigger chance that a Sydney consortium will be the next new team, buying a current two car team and relocating it in Sin City.

From a Townsville point of view this is what we need, as most of you know this has been on the cards for years. There is no chance of the event being held next year, the site needs to be developed first, it will be a half half track, half permentant and half street, the course will only run on two streets! If you guys are worried about numbers to the event don't, at the Indy 300 launch a few weekends ago we got 10 000 people to a small evebt in five hours! If it does happen then we will more than likely get people coming in from Cairns, Mackay and Charters Towers and every where in between, I also don't think some of you realise how big Townsville actually is! At the last sensus we had a population of around 205 000. I think everyone needs to stop whinging about permenant and street courses and look at the category itself! Is it Australian of International, we need more events in Australia first, then take on the world. And for the rest of you non believers here are a few atricles from Motorsport News!
The first is one from last year with the proposed track, the second is from the current issue (340). |
